Investigators from University of Canberra Report New Data on Gestational Diabetes (The Holistic Maternity Care Needs of Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: a Systematic Review With Thematic Synthesis).

A new report from the University of Canberra highlights the need for holistic care for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The study found that current models of care for GDM do not adequately meet the needs of women, resulting in high levels of unmet need. The research emphasizes the importance of addressing the psychological, social, economic, and spiritual aspects of care for women with GDM, and calls for the provision of holistic models of care to improve clinical outcomes and the experiences of women with GDM.
