Comparative Effectiveness of Diabetes Prevention Strategies in Women With GDM
The main goal of this study is to examine the comparative effectiveness of diabetes
prevention strategies in women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) on the control of
the following conditions: obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertension and depression. This
randomized lifestyle intervention study will be conducted at Kaiser Permanente Northern
California. Women in the intervention will receive a letter on gestational weight gain
during pregnancy and in the postpartum period, a curriculum of individualized lifestyle
counseling via telephone, augmented with e-mail and an interactive Web site. Patients
randomized to the usual care arm will receive the standard-care telephone calls from the
Perinatal Center during pregnancy and the Center's printed educational materials postpartum.
Outcomes will be assessed through the electronic medical record and patient surveys
conducted during pregnancy and at 6-weeks, 6- months and 1-year postpartum.
