Gestational Diabetes is one of the most common and significant complications a family can face during the childbearing year. Globally, it is estimated that 21.1 million live births were impacted by some form of hyperglycemia and of these 80.3% were due to Gestational diabetes. In the United States, about 2-10% of childbearing families will experience Gestational diabetes increasing the risk of adverse maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes. The overwhelming prevalence of Gestational Diabetes makes it likely that you will not only encounter this imperative health issue in your practice, but you will need to engage with families impacted by the condition at some point during their health journey. As clinicians and birth workers we can help improve current and future health outcomes for families impacted by Gestational diabetes by keeping abreast of the most current evidenced based recommendations. This session will provide you with the most up-to-date evidence that will equip you to care for your clients with Gestational Diabetes from antepartum through the postpartum period.
