  2. National Diabetes Education Program • US Department of Health and Human Services program jointly sponsored by: • National Institutes of Health • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention • With over 200 public and private partners • Seeks to reduce the burden of diabetes in the US by facilitating adoption of proven approaches to prevent or delay the onset and progression of diabetes and its complications.

  3. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) • Diagnosed during pregnancy • Affects at least 7% and possibly as many as 18% of U.S. pregnancies • Occurs frequently with other risk factors for diabetes

  4. Why is Gestational Diabetes a Concern AFTER Pregnancy? • Immediately after pregnancy, 5% to 10% of women with GDM have diabetes, usually type 2. • 35% to 60% chance of developing diabetes in the 10 to 20 years after delivery. • Risk for cardiovascular disease may be increased. • Children of GDM pregnancies may be at greater risk for future obesity and type 2 diabetes. Buchanan TA, et al.Diabetes Care 2007; 30 Suppl 2: S105-11. Kitzmiller JL, et al. Diabetes Care 2007; 30 Suppl 2: S225-35.

  5. Good News! • Small steps can lower type 2 diabetes risk. • Lifestyle changes include dietary changes and physical activity to lead to modest weight reduction and maintenance. • Early detection of prediabetes may provide an opportunity to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

  6. Awareness of post GDM issues • Awareness is low about health risks for women who have a history of GDM. • Many women do not receive and/or are not aware of the need for follow-up testing. • NDEP is raising awareness among providers about the importance of continuing to track and monitor GDM moms long after the pregnancy has ended.

  7. It’s Never Too Early . . . to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes Outreach Goals: • ↓number of women with history of GDM who develop diabetes • ↑awareness of health risks for children of that pregnancy • ↑ awareness of timely testing • ↑ provider counseling about future health risks/steps to prevent type 2 diabetes • ↑ adoption and maintenance of healthy behaviors

  8. What You Can Do to Help Encourage women with a history of GDM to: • Continue positive lifestyle habits after delivery. • Get screened 6 to 12 weeks post partum – if test is normal, get tested at least every 3 years. • If prediabetes is diagnosed, get tested annually. • Breastfeed to help mom lose weight and improve the child’s health. • Aim for pre-pregnancy weight within 6 to 12 months. If still overweight, work to lose 5%-7% body weight over time. • Make healthy food choices/eat smaller portions. • Be active 30 minutes 5 days a week.
