Avoiding Diabetes After Pregnancy Together with Moms (ADAPT-M): Bridging Care from the Third to the Fourth Trimester
Abstract: ADAPT-M is a virtual health coaching program delivered by trained diabetes educators that bridges prenatal and postpartum care for women with gestational diabetes, to help them prevent future type 2 diabetes. This presentation will discuss gaps in postpartum care for this population, preliminary results of a trial of ADAPT-M, and the plans for implementation in 3 Ontario regions, including Mississauga as one of the pilot sites.
The objectives of this seminar are:
Understand evidence for diabetes risk and prevention after gestational diabetes.
Describe preliminary results of a novel health coaching program for postpartum women with gestational diabetes.
Identify strategies to integrate postpartum diabetes prevention services within healthcare settings.
