The Project
SWEET is a pilot study that will apply patient navigation strategies to improve the health of pregnant people with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). A cohort of 40 people will be randomized to one of two groups, usual care or navigation, where those selected to be in the navigation group will receive GDM-specific navigation services up until one year after delivery. The implementation of SWEET will hopefully generate key data for the conduct of a full-scale trial that will address critical questions about long-term maternal health and type 2 diabetes prevention.
