Primary Care Providers
The Ohio Type 2 Diabetes Learning Collaborative developed several resources to aid providers in the treatment and care plan for women of child-bearing age at high risk for T2DM. In consultation with nationally-recognized subject matter experts, along with feedback from participating providers across Ohio, a clinical toolkit and consumer resources have been adapted for providers and support staff.
Provider Toolkit includes:
Proposed assessment and screening workflow algorithm for an office-based setting
Care coordination strategies and resources
Health and wellness educational messaging for consumers
Shared decision making guides
Consumer Resources include:
Education on risk of developing T2DM
Information on association between GDM and T2DM
Recommended lifestyle changes
Nutrition and dietary guidelines
Screening guidelines
CHECK HER RISK, PROTECT HER HEALTH
The lifetime prevalence of the development of type 2 diabetes for women with a history of GDM is as high as 60%, depending on cofactors. In response to this growing problem, clinical experts have developed key information for both providers and consumers on T2DM assessment and screening recommendations.
