No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects up to 3-5% of all pregnancies. When diagnosed with GDM, women undergo nutritional counseling, blood sugars monitoring and are encouraged to exercise regularly. Women who do not meet therapeutic targets may need to add insulin injections. Activity promoting video games are an attractive possibility for improvement of exercise compliance. The objective of this study is to determine whether providing women recently diagnosed with GDM with a Nintendo Wii™ activity promoting gaming platform will increase activity levels, improve glycemic control of sugar levels and decrease the need for supplementary insulin treatment.
