Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Predominant Millet based Medical Nutrition Therapy with physical activity  • Diet and Physical Activity - • The recommended dietary calorie intake for the pregnant women will be measured based on pre-pregnancy BMI and activity level. Individualized counselling on the diet plan based on Low Glycemic Index foods (Wheat, millets) and Physical activity for maintaining blood glucose level during GDM will be advised to both pregnant women and their caretaker. A diet plan to be followed will be provided by the investigator. • Take home ration of locally available millets, 30 packets of 200 gm pre-weighed locally available millet [Finger Millet flour (Ragi), Pearl Millet flour (Kambu), Kodo Millet (Varagu), Little Millet (Varagu)], to be taken at a fixed time daily for 30 days (1 month). • Predominant millet recipes booklet and Diet diary will be given to the pregnant women involving their family member • They will followed-up after 2 weeks and 1 month by the investigator 
Comparator Agent  Standard Medical Nutrition Therapy with physical activity  • Diet and Physical activity – Mothers diagnosed with GDM in OG OPD in JIPMER by Clinician using OGTT following the IADPSG criteria, are advised MNT with Physical activity recommended for 30 minutes daily and referred to the dietitian who counsel them a diet plan according to their energy requirement. • They will followed-up after 2 weeks and 1 month by the investigator.  
Intervention  Strategies to ensure Adherence (Common to both groups)  • WhatsApp reminder – Mothers from both groups will be will be reminded about maintaining diet diary and to follow the daily meal plan. • Health education Booklets

Brief Summary   Title: "Effectiveness of Predominant Millet based Medical Nutrition Therapy on the Glycemic Control compared to the Standard Medical Nutrition Therapy among women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in a Tertiary Care Setting, Puducherry – An Explanatory Mixed Method Study"

Expected outcome and Applications:

·     We can assess the effectiveness of predominant millet-based medical nutrition therapy on the glycemic control in the management of GDM.

·     If found effective, more emphasis can be given on predominant millet diet in MNT, since its traditional, available and affordable and it can be included in the Public Distribution System (PDS) and Anganwadi centers.

·     Family support can be stressed in the GDM management.

·     This ultimately improves the maternal and neonatal outcome in the pregnancy and further incorporating the healthy lifestyle after the pregnancy, reduces the morbidity among GDM mothers and their offspring later in life.

·     It also helps in incorporating healthy diet practices among other household members.

  •      It paves way for future studies in GDM involving millets
Primary Objective: To study the effectiveness of Predominant Millet based MNT compared to standard MNT among the mothers diagnosed with GDM between 24 – 28 weeks attending antenatal clinic at JIPMER, Puducherry - on achieving glycemic goal at 2 weeks and at 1 month of follow-up
Hypothesis: What is the effect of predominant millet based medical nutrition therapy on the glycemic control among pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus?
