DPSG-W: From Prepregnancy Planning to

Maternal and Infant Outcomes Conference

DPSGW12

The Westin Pasadena
191 N. Los Robeles
Pasadena, California 91101

626-729-2727

May 17-19, 2012

This conference focuses on research design and methodology as
well as health outcomes related to diabetes and pregnancy. There is
increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes during pregnancy and in the
general population of reproductive-age women. This serves as the catalyst
for collaboration among diabetes and reproductive health specialty groups
to engage in research aimed at discovering the etiology, prevention and
treatment of these chronic conditions. A major goal of study is the
development of effective treatment modalities to prevent or reduce the
rates of diabetes, obesity and associated birth defects as well as to
improve perinatal outcomes.

Experts from Obstetrics, Endocrinology, Pediatrics, Nutrition, Epidemiology,
Behavioral Medicine and Basic Science will present current research related
to the mechanisms of diabetes during pregnancy and the role ofobesity.
Topics will cover the reproductive lifecycle from pre-pregnancy through
postpartum and include crucial information about the implications of
intrauterine exposure on infant and child health outcomes.
