Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) requires careful management—not only during pregnancy but well into the postpartum period. Patients with a history of GDM face a significantly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life, making proactive monitoring and tailored care strategies essential.
To support family physicians in meeting this challenge, the AAFP has developed new resources, including a comprehensive guidance document and practice hack videos, that share the latest evidence-based recommendations. These resources highlight key considerations for diagnosis, management and timing of interventions across the continuum of pregnancy and into postpartum care.
They also explore the role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) as an option for pregnant and postpartum patients, giving you a clear view of how this technology can enhance outcomes and patient experience.
Download the guide and watch the videos today to strengthen your approach to GDM management and ensure your patients receive the most up-to-date, comprehensive care throughout their pregnancy journey and beyond.
