Among others, fasting blood sugar levels and oxidative stress indicators were measured in blood. After the intervention period, the results showed significantly improved values of fasting blood sugar levels and some parameters related to oxidative stress levels. According to this study, alpha-lipoic acid supplementation at a dosage of 300 mg\/day improved fasting blood sugar levels and oxidative stress parameters in women with gestational diabetes.
