Plain-language summary

Gestational diabetes occurs when the body can't make enough insulin to manage high blood sugar during pregnancy, usually developing between the 24th and 28th weeks. It affects about 14% of pregnancies worldwide. Women with gestational diabetes often feel more anxious and stressed and have a higher risk of depression during and after pregnancy. This study will explore how telerehabilitation can reduce anxiety and depression and show how exercise can improve the health of pregnant women with gestational diabetes.
