Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy
Step and weight tracking with targets and coaching interventions in gestational diabetes: A randomized factorial feasibility trial
Authors' conclusion
Our algorithm-driven step target strategy prevents step count decline, meriting study for perinatal impact.
