Objective To explore the practical value of introducing midwives nutritional guidance during pregnancy into patients with gestational diabetes (GDM); Methods The study was a retrospective study, which randomly analyzed the data of 78 patients with GDM admitted to our hospital from March 2023 to March 2024. They were divided into an observation group and a control group according to different nursing methods, with 39 patients in each group. The observation group received prenatal nutrition guidance from midwives, while the control group received routine guidance during pregnancy; Results The blood glucose and nutritional indicators of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05). The maternal and infant outcomes of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05); Conclusion Using midwife nutrition guidance during pregnancy for GDM patients can provide nutritional guidance throughout the entire pregnancy period to correct the blood glucose levels and nutritional status of pregnant women, thereby improving maternal and infant outcomes and demonstrating good application effects.
