Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Women with a history of gestational diabetes, around 8% of pregnancies, who are 21 years or older and are willing to engage in a tailored, hybrid program.
✕Less likely to help
Women who prefer traditional in-person care only or who have contraindications to planned lifestyle changes may see less benefit.
What this research studies
If you had gestational diabetes, this project tests a flexible, hybrid online and telehealth lifestyle program designed specifically for you to reduce future diabetes and heart disease risk. It builds on the National Diabetes Prevention Program but tailors education, coaching, and content to your post-pregnancy needs, with options for online and in-person support. The study will see if this customized approach improves engagement and health outcomes compared with standard care over several years. You will work with coaches, set personal health goals, and may discuss metformin if appropriate with your provider. The goal is to help you adopt lasting healthy habits that fit your life and reduce long-term risk.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could lower your chances of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease after gestational diabetes.
How similar studies have gone: Early approaches show promise for hybrid online-telehealth models, with additional tailoring potentially improving outcomes for this group.
