“…Sangeetha et al demonstrated that it is feasible to lower the glycemic index through nutrition education in post-GDM women [98]. These were reflected in a study by Suhaimi et al, in which they concluded that women who had a history of GDM tended to consume more low glycemic index (GI) foods than women without a history of GDM [99]. However, the delivery of nutrient recommendations regarding dietary carbohydrate intakes was inconsistent, indicating a need for consensus on dietetic practice guidelines for the management of GDM [100].…”

A rapid increase in the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been associated with various factors such as urbanization, lifestyle changes, adverse hyperglycemic intrauterine environment, and the resulting epigenetic changes. Despite this, the burden of GDM has not been well-assessed in Southeast Asia. We comprehensively reviewed published Southeast Asian studies to identify the current research trend in GDM in this region. Joanna Briggs Institute’s methodology was used to guide the scoping review. The synthesis of literature findings demonstrates almost comparable clinical evidence in terms of risk factors and complications, challenges presented in diagnosing GDM, and its disease management, given the similarities of the underlying population characteristics in Southeast Asia. Evidence suggests that a large proportion of GDM risk in women may be preventable by lifestyle modifications. However, the GDM burden across countries is expected to rise, given the heterogeneity in screening approaches and diagnostic criteria, mainly influenced by economic status. There is an urgent need for concerted efforts by government and nongovernmental sectors to implement national programs to prevent, manage, and monitor the disease.

“…These outcomes have included glycemic control, better dietary intake, better postnatal weight management, and significantly lower fasting blood glucose compared to a conventional diet. [ 7 8 10 33 ] Hence, the dietary management in this module incorporated the concept of the glycemic index during pregnancy and postnatal diet.…”

“…However, few GDM guidelines recommend mothers practice breastfeeding, but with minimal evidence. [ 4 ] Encouragingly, there is growing evidence that breastfeeding[ 5 6 ] and dietary modifications incorporated with glycemic index concepts[ 7 8 ] are associated with a reduced long-term risk of chronic diseases in women with a medical history of GDM. This approach was attempted in Malaysia.…”

BACKGROUND: Recent findings show that a longer breastfeeding duration and proper dietary management could lower the risk of postnatal diabetes. An excellent and interactive education module on breastfeeding and diet may effectively improve breastfeeding practices and dietary knowledge among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Therefore, this study delves into developing and validating the content of Breastfeeding and Dietary Education Package (BFDEP) for women with GDM. METHOD: The development of the module involved three phases: need assessment, module development, and validation. Six experts deployed a content validity index (CVI) to evaluate three areas of the module, including objectives, structure or presentation, and relevance. Sixteen women with GDM were involved in the face validation process by assessing the “literacy presentation,” “illustrations,” “material is sufficiently specific,” and “quality of information.” RESULTS: Generally, I-CVI, S-CVI/Ave, and S-CVI/UA of the objectives, structure or presentation, and relevance revealed an excellent level of content validity. No alteration was needed for the domains of objective and relevance (S-CVI/Ave: 1.0, S-CVI/UA: 1.0). However, a minor revision was required in the structure or presentation domain (S-CVI/Ave: 0.98, S-CVI/UA: 0.90). The experts also thought that some module pages were wordy, and a change of font color was needed. The module was thus modified accordingly. For face validation, “literacy presentation” and “material is sufficiently specific” had a 99% positive response, while “illustrations” and “quality of information” had 100% positive feedback. CONCLUSION: A BFDEP with excellent content validity was developed and can be implemented to improve breastfeeding practices and dietary knowledge among women with GDM.
