MAGNATITUDE OF THE PROBLEM

Approximately 150,000 women have diabetes during pregnancy each year
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic - with 1/3 of the children in the US being overweight

African Americans, East Asians, Hispanics, and Native Americans have the highest rate of diabetes during pregnancy 

At least 50% of the women who have gestational diabetes will  develop type 2 diabetes within 5 to 10 years

These mothers and their infants are at increased risk for 
    • Birth defects
    • Unexplained Stillbirth
    • Pre-term Labor
    • Macrosomia
    • Birth trauma
    • Increased special care nursery days for infant
    •  
    • Increased hospitalization stays
    • Type 2 diabetes later in life for women with a history of GDM
    • Childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes for offspring

  • Women with diabetes can have healthy   pregnancies with optimal outcomes

      • We can prevent type 2 diabetes  and obesity for mothers and their children
