Krompa K, Sebbah S, Baudry C, et al. - Via performing a qualitative study examining women’s attitudes during the 6–12 months postpartum, after receiving a gestational diabetes diagnosis and associated education, researchers sought to report on the feelings and daily lifestyle changes, including physical activity and dietary changes, among these women. In addition, they determined the roles played by their general practitioners during follow-up. Among 47 contacted patients, 16 were interviewed. The interviewed women reported modification in behaviors, at least slight, and changes including more balanced diets and incorporation of mild physical activity. The primary barriers to long-term lifestyle modifications were lack of time, lack of awareness regarding the long-term risk of developing type 2 diabetes, resistance to long-term dietary changes, and cultural habits, whereas family support was identified as beneficial. These women appeared to have weak interactions with their physician. These findings emphasize reinforcing educational attitudes and preventive interventions, especially during the long-term, and not only during the immediate postpartum period. They also suggest necessity for increasing awareness among primary care physicians concerning the need to provide continuous education for this high-risk population.
