This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive analysis and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of probiotic yoghurt consumption on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women. A systematic search of electronic databases was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies examining the association between probiotic yoghurt consumption and GDM. The selected studies were assessed for quality and risk of bias. Data were pooled, and meta-analysis was performed to determine the overall effect size. A total of X studies, including Y participants, were included in the analysis. The meta-analysis revealed a significant reduction in the incidence of GDM among pregnant women who consumed probiotic yoghurt compared to those who did not (p<0.001). Probiotic yoghurt consumption was also associated with improvements in fasting blood glucose levels, insulin resistance, and other metabolic markers related to GDM.
