Adherence
Electronic or mobile delivery of lifestyle interventions (websites, phone, text) results in greater body weight reduction in women with a history of gestational diabetes compared to face-to-face only delivery.
If you have a history of gestational diabetes and want to lose weight, consider using electronic or mobile lifestyle interventions (websites, phone, text messages). These methods have been shown to result in greater weight loss compared to face-to-face only interventions.
For body weight, interventions that were delivered electronically via websites, telephone, or text messages or used both distant and face-to-face approaches resulted in a significantly greater weight reduction than those that were delivered face-to-face only.
Why this rating
