BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is marked by glucose intolerance identified primarily during pregnancy. Globally, GDM incidence is rising annually, and during the past 20 years, the prevalence of the GDM has increased by more than 30% in low- and middle-income nations. In India, the estimated prevalence of GDM in expectant mothers is 0.80%. METHODOLOGY: Subjects who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in this study . After obtaining an informed consent, subjects were randomly allotted into two groups. Intervention group received Functional resistance training and the Control group received Routine antenatal care for a period of 12 weeks, pretest and posttest values of Fasting Blood Glucose and Postprandial blood glucose level were taken and tabulated . RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Within group analysis shows a significant decrease in Fasting Blood Glucose and Postprandial blood glucose level after 12 weeks of intervention in both groups (P<0.05). Between group analysis shows Functional Resisted exercises reduces Fasting blood glucose level significantly than the control group (p<0.05).
