The role of probiotics supplementation in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remains controversial. We conducted this meta-analysis to investigate the effects of probiotics on fasting blood glucose (FBG), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), total glutathione (GSH), malonaldehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in pregnant women with GDM. ⋯ This meta-analysis suggests that probiotics supplementation might have a small effect on the reduction of FBG in pregnant women with GDM, and might have certain effects on some biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress. However, given the heterogeneity between studies, the results should be interpreted with caution but are worthy of further investigation.
