Overview
Brief Summary
The overall objective of this pilot project is to test in 50 women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the effectiveness and feasibility of an 8 month intensive lifestyle intervention to reduce the rate of metabolic abnormalities within 1 year after delivery.
