This trial is for English or Spanish-speaking pregnant individuals diagnosed with gestational diabetes in the second or third trimester, receiving care at a specific program. It's not for those with pre-existing type 1 or type 2 diabetes, early gestational diabetes diagnosis, or who can't walk due to physical limitations.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares the effects of two types of exercise advice on baby birth weight in gestational diabetes: one group will be told to walk for 20 minutes after meals and another will get standard exercise counseling. Their activity is tracked via FitBit devices.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves walking and routine exercise counseling as interventions, there are minimal expected side effects; however, participants may experience typical pregnancy discomforts related to physical activity.
