Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Maternal and infant complications during childbirth		birth
Primary	Fasting blood glucose	If the blood glucose level is between 4.0 and 5.4 mmol/L, the result is normal. If the fasting blood glucose level is between 5.5-6.9 mmol/L, the condition is called prediabetes. Diabetes refers to blood sugar greater than 8.5 mmol/L.	Average peripheral fasting blood glucose measured one week prior to participant enrollment. Fasting blood glucose measured in the first week after the end of 12 weeks of intervention.
Primary	2-h postprandial plasma glucose	less than 7.8mmol/L. When the blood glucose is 7.8~11.1 mmol/L 2 hours after meals, it can be diagnosed as impaired or impaired glucose tolerance.	Average postprandial blood glucose measured in the week prior to study participant enrollment. Average postprandial 2-hour postprandial peripheral capillary blood glucose measured in the first week after the end of 12 weeks of intervention.
Secondary	Pittsburgh sleep quality index,PSQI	PSQI was used to measure the sleep quality of participants in the last 1 month. It consists of 19 self-assessment items and 5 other assessment items, of which the 19th self-assessment item and 5 other evaluation items do not participate in scoring, and only 18 self-assessment items participating in scoring are introduced here. 18 items composed of 7 components, each component is scored on a scale of 0-3, the cumulative score of each component is the total score of PSQI, the total score range is 0-2l, the higher the score, the worse the sleep quality.	Weeks 0 and 13
Secondary	Self-Rating Depression Scale,SDS	SDS is rated according to the frequency of symptoms and is divided into 4 levels: no or very little time, a small amount of time, a considerable amount of time, and most or all the time. If it is a positive scoring question, it is rated as a rough score of L, 2, 3, and 4. For reverse grading questions, they are rated as 4, 3, 2, and 1. The assessment time is within the past week, add the scores of each question to a rough score, multiply the rough score by 1.25, and round up the whole number to get the standard score (T). The threshold value of depression assessment is T=53, and the higher the score, the more obvious the tendency to depression.	Weeks 0 and 13
Secondary	Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, SAS	SAS includes 20 items, and the score is based on a standard scoring pattern, with a score of 50 or less being normal, 50-59 being mild anxiety, 60-69 being moderate anxiety, and 70-79 being severe anxiety.	Weeks 0 and 13
