Brief Summary: : Gestational diabetes is a common pregnancy-related condition characterized by impaired glucose metabolism. It poses risks to both maternal and fetal health. Physical activity interventions, such as self-stretching and aerobic exercise, have shown potential in improving glycemic control and managing associated symptoms in individuals with diabetes. Objective: To determine the effects of self-stretching, with or without aerobic exercise, on glycemic control, fatigue, and stress for women with gestational diabetes
Detailed Description: A Randomized controlled trial was conducted at khursheed majeed Hospital Lahore and was completed in 8th month after approval of synopsis .A sample of 24 women having age 20 to 40 with gestational diabetes were selected through non probability convenience sampling technique and then randomly allocated into group A(self-stretching with aerobic exercise) and group B (self-stretching without aerobic exercise). The outcome measures were glycemic control, assessed by measuring fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels using a glucometer fatigue and stress levels, measured by Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), respectively. These measures will be obtained at baseline and after the 7-weeks intervention period. All participants in both groups were evaluated before and after the treatment programs.

Data was analyzed by using SPSS 25. Results: Mean value of Fasting blood glucose pre-treatment (Mean Difference=0.05) and post treatment (Mean Difference=0.14) with p value \<0.05. Mean value of 2 h postprandial blood glucose pre-treatment (Mean Difference=0.04) and post treatment (Mean Difference=0.20) with p value \<0.05.Mean value of Fatigue assessment scale pre-treatment (Mean Difference=1.56) and post treatment (Mean Difference=4.21) with p value \<0.05. Mean value of Perceived stress scale pre-treatment (Mean Difference=1.05) and post treatment (Mean Difference=4.74) with p value \<0.05 Conclusion: The study concluded that both groups Aerobic exercises + self-stretching (experimental group) and self-stretching Exercises only (control group) improve glycemic control, reduce fatigue and stress in gestational diabetes. However Aerobic exercises + self-stretching is more effective than self-stretching only
