Plain-language summary
A plain-language read of the study’s main message and where it applies.
Study focus
This study evaluated the impact of telemedicine on glycemic control in women with gestational diabetes, finding significant improvements in postprandial glucose levels.
Improving glycemic control in gestational diabetes is crucial for reducing complications for both mothers and infants. This study suggests that telemedicine can be an effective tool for managing blood sugar levels, potentially leading to better health outcomes and reduced cesarean section rates.
The study's sample size may limit the generalizability of the findings. Potential confounding factors were not fully controlled for. The long-term effects of telemedicine on glycemic control remain unclear.

Telemedicine care reduced average postprandial glucose by 0.3 mmol/L (p = 0.004).
The percentage of glucose readings above target decreased by 4.2% with telemedicine care (p = 0.015).
The cesarean section rate was lower in the telemedicine group, with 17.3% compared to 35.3% in standard care (p = 0.038).
