Online Self-learning for Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

This study aims to determine the feasibility and acceptability of using telehealth in the care of women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) by providing a self-learning alternative via an online portal compared to a one-to-one dietary education, conducted face-to-face in a dietitian clinic. The investigators hypothesize that the use of technology would enable a higher percentage of women to receive the necessary dietary education, thereby empowering behaviour change and resulting in positive maternal blood glucose control and pregnancy outcomes. The primary hypothesis is that the new care model will reach out to a higher proportion compared to the conventional model (Service utilization), as determined by the completion of the online self-learning, comparing it to attendance rates with the conventional model. The secondary hypothesis is that the new care model will be able to provide care that would be comparable to those in the traditional outpatient clinic setting, as measured by the blood glucose and pregnancy outcomes, as well as patient satisfaction and patient experience.
