This literature review evaluates the effectiveness of mobile health (mHealth) interventions in managing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), focusing on their potential to improve glycemic control, patient engagement, and postpartum type 2 diabetes (T2D). Findings indicate that mHealth apps like Habits-GDM and GDm-health enhance glycemic management and reduce neonatal complications but have limited success in managing gestational weight. While the Pregnant+ app increases health engagement, its effects on delivery outcomes and postpartum T2D are mixed. The research underscores the importance of integrated, continuous management to leverage mHealth in GDM care and highlights the Clinical Nurse Leaders' key role in integrating these technologies with traditional care to optimize GDM management. This literature review contributes to the dialogue on mHealth interventions' role in GDM care, advocating for a holistic approach that merges mHealth with standard practices to enhance health outcomes.
