Abstract
This study was aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of inositol nutritional supplementation during pregnancy for the prevention of GDM. PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, and Cochrane library were systematically searched for randomized controlled trails (RCTs) in this field until May 2022. Primary outcomes were the incidence for GDM and plasma glucose levels by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Pooled results were expressed as relative risk (RR) or mean difference (MD) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Seven RCTs with 1321 participants were included in this study. Compared with the control group, 4 g myo-inositol (MI) supplementation per day significantly decreased the incidence of GDM (RR = 0.30, 95% CI (0.18, 0.49), p < 0.00001). It significantly decreased the plasma glucose levels of OGTT regarding fasting-glucose OGTT (MD = −4.20, 95% CI (−5.87, −2.54), p < 0.00001), 1-h OGTT (MD = −8.75, 95% CI (−12.42, −5.08), p < 0.00001), and 2-h OGTT (MD = −8.59, 95% CI (−11.81, −5.83), p < 0.00001). It also decreased the need of insulin treatment, and reduced the incidence of preterm delivery and neonatal hypoglycemia. However, no difference was observed between 1.1 g MI per day plus 27.6 mg D-chiro-inositol (DCI) per day and the control group regarding all evaluated results. In conclusion, 4 g MI nutritional supplementation per day during early pregnancy may reduce GDM incidence and severity, therefore may be a practical and safe approach for the prevention of GDM.
