Beyond Pregnancy: Reducing Postpartum Diabetes Risk and Supporting High-Risk Women with GDM
September 16 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
The rising incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in high-risk populations presents a critical challenge for health care professionals. Access issues and bias often leave women vulnerable to poor maternal and infant outcomes. The third and final installment in this webinar series will address these challenges and is designed to equip health care professionals with the knowledge and tools to provide accessible and individualized care.
Funding for this project is provided by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, as part of Blue Cross’ long-term commitment to tackling the leading causes of preventable disease, to increase health equity, transform communities, and create a healthier state.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Recall postpartum care strategies that address long-term health disparities in individuals from high-risk populations, with a focus on reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and improving continuity of care.
- Recognize and mitigate the challenges high-risk women face in accessing postpartum care, including cultural, economic, and geographical barriers, and utilize community-based resources to provide ongoing support.
- Identify individualized long-term diabetes prevention programs that engage community organizations and allied health professionals in supporting the health and well-being of women who have experienced GDM.
