Abstract：Objective To study the effect of keeping the diet diary combined with the WeChat platform management on the blood glucose control and treatment of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods Totally 116 patients diagnosed as GDM between January and June 2016 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, according to a random number table. Both groups were given routine medication and nutrition guidance, while the observation group was additionally provided with the diet diary combined with WeChat platform management. The fasting blood glucose (FBG), two hours postprandial blood glucose (2 hPBG), the incidence of hunger ketosis and hypoglycemia and the failure of simple lifestyle adjustment were compared. Results There were significant differences in FBG and 2 hPBG of the two groups (F=124.65, P＜0.001; F=11.931, P=0.029). The incidence of hypoglycemia and the proportion of starting insulin treatment of the observation group were significantly lower than that in the control group (χ2=8.484, P=0.004; χ2=6.565, P=0.010). Conclusion Keeping diet diary combined with the WeChat platform management is of good supervision and management function, which can reduce the incidence of hypoglycemia and proportion of initiating the insulin therapy.
