The Ohio Type 2 Diabetes Learning Collaborative developed several resources to aid home visitors 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 toolkit and family resources have been adapted for home visiting and support staff.

Check Her Risk, Protect Her Health
Uncontrolled gestational diabetes during pregnancy can lead to high birth weight, jaundice, preterm birth, or other conditions in the baby. Additionally, moms that had GDM are likely to experience a re-occurrence in future pregnancies or develop Type 2 Diabetes. In response to this growing problem, we have developed key information for both home visitors and families on GDM and Type 2 Diabetes. Please click on the images above for more information.
