Summary

The primary hypothesis underlying this proposal is that the introduction of a Promotora to provide education and proactive follow-up to women with GDM will increase compliance with postpartum glucose tolerance testing. The secondary hypothesis is that the Promotora will improve participation in referral visits for diabetes or preventive care. We will develop the promotora program and begin pilot implementation.

Conditions

  • Diabetes, Gestational
  • Postpartum Period

Interventions

OTHER

Promotora

The Promotora will deliver education regarding postpartum follow-up and steps to take to decrease the risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The Promotora will clarify misperceptions and answer questions related to risk of developing diabetes and contraception. If the subject has barriers to accessing care with transportation or childcare, she will help the subjects to access existing resources. The Promotora will give the subject her contact information and will also contact the subject to remind her of her appointments and reschedule if she missed an appointment.
