Intervention model description
To assess the effectiveness of the i-PregMom mobile application and digital dietary image recording on blood glucose control and gestational weight gain, a randomized controlled design with a double repeated measures approach will be conducted (Intervention group: n=80; Control group: n=80). Data will be collected at three time points: * Baseline (10-14 weeks of gestation) * Two weeks post-intervention (12-16 weeks of gestation) * Three months post-intervention (24-28 weeks of gestation) The intervention group will receive face-to-face nutrition education (15-30 min/session) based on the Health Promotion Administration's pregnancy dietary guidelines and access to the i-PregMom mobile application for continuous dietary management. The control group will receive only face-to-face nutrition education (15-30 min/session) based on standard pregnancy dietary guidelines.
