We hope your calendar is marked for Monday, May 14, 2012, from 1-2 p.m. EST for the National Diabetes Education Program’s (NDEP’s) webinar on “Promoting Health after Gestational Diabetes.” During this webinar, Robert Ratner, M.D., F.A.C.P, F.A.C.E., Chief Scientific and Medical Officer of the American Diabetes Association, will discuss the lifelong health risks for women with a history of gestational diabetes, the health risks to a child of a pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes, and steps mothers can take to help lower these risks for themselves and their children. In addition, NDEP partner Thomas Joyce will share the Ohio Diabetes Prevention and Control Program’s strategies for promoting type 2 diabetes prevention among women with a history of gestational diabetes and their children.
