Lifestyle intervention shows little effect on weight loss in women with gestational diabetes
Última actualización 9 de septiembre de 2026
Key finding
A mean weight change of -2.0 (SD 7.1) kg was observed in the intervention group compared with -0.6 (SD 8.0) kg in the control group, difference -1.4 (95% CI -4.4, 1.5) kg from 6 weeks to 12 months postnatal, but this was not statistically significant (P = .34).
The PAIGE2 Study evaluated a multicomponent lifestyle intervention for women with gestational diabetes, finding a mean weight change of -2.0 kg in the intervention group compared to -0.6 kg in the control group.

Plain-language summary
What this paper says
A plain-language read of the study’s main message and where it applies.
Study focus
The PAIGE2 Study evaluated a multicomponent lifestyle intervention for women with gestational diabetes, finding a mean weight change of -2.0 kg in the intervention group compared to -0.6 kg in the control group.
Clinical relevance
Understanding the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions for women with gestational diabetes is crucial, as it may help in managing weight and preventing complications. While the intervention showed some promise in weight reduction, the lack of significant changes in other health markers suggests that further research is needed to determine its overall impact.
Keep in mind
The effectiveness of the intervention remains unclear due to non-significant results for secondary outcomes. The sample size and population characteristics may limit generalizability. No significant differences were found in key health markers beyond weight change.

Efectos Principales
The intervention group experienced a mean weight change of -2.0 kg compared to -0.6 kg in the control group (difference -1.4 kg, p=0.34).
No significant difference in BMI change was observed, with a reduction of -0.6 kg/m².
Waist circumference change showed no significant difference, with a reduction of -1.0 cm.
Fasting plasma glucose change was not significant, with a change of 0.07 mmol/L.
