Abstract: Gestational diabetes (GD) is the most common endocrinopathy during pregnancy, and its incidence is increasing globally. Because of its high maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality, the need to develop safe and effective preventive strategies is evident. In this regard, myo-inositol may be a feasible alternative. Therefore, we aimed to determine the effectiveness of myo-inositol supplementation for the prevention of gestational diabetes in pregnant women with risk factors. A systematic review has been performed with some of the results from different searches in Medline, Web of Science and Nursing & Allied Health Database. Randomised controlled trials involving pregnant women with risk factors for developing GD were selected. The interventions compared were myo-inositol and folic acid supplementation versus folic acid alone. Six studies were included in the meta-analysis. Doses of myo-inositol ranged from 4 to 1.1 grams daily, administered from the first trimester. Results showed a significant reduction in GD rates in patients supplemented with myo-inositol (OR=0.46; 95%CI [0.10-0.82]; p=0.012), as well as lower rates of admission to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (OR=0.95; 95%CI [0.09 - 1.88]; p=0.04) and caesarean section (OR=0.77; 95%CI [0.43 - 1.11]; p<0.001). In conclusion, myo-inositol supplementation reveals encouraging results. However, due to a lack of methodological rigour, among other reasons, further research is crucial to corroborate these findings and to develop concrete guidelines that can be widely applied.
