Gestational Diabetes Follow Up Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes, Gestational, Postpartum Period

In brief

The primary hypothesis underlying this proposal is that the introduction of a Promotora to provide education and proactive follow-up to women with GDM will increase compliance with postpartum glucose tolerance testing. The secondary hypothesis is that the Promotora will improve participation in referral visits for diabetes or preventive care. We will develop the promotora program and begin pilot implementation.
