RESEARKA

The most publishable angle here is not which intervention works, but why certain interventions achieve hard clinical endpoints (macrosomia, C-section) with only marginal glycemic improvement—and why others mechanistically succeed (probiotic HOMA-IR reduction) yet fail at every clinical glucose threshold. A second underexplored angle is the disproportionate respiratory distress syndrome risk (RR 3.2) in *mild* GDM, which exceeds the effect on macrosomia and points to glycemic-independent fetal pulmonary programming.
