decrease body weight and
-
reduce the rate of metabolic abnormalities, 12 months after delivery

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of glucose intolerance [8 Months]
To examine the incidence of glucose abnormalities (impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, type 2 diabetes) and health outcomes (changes in body fat, waist circumference and blood lipids)in women with a history of gestational diabetes, 12 months postpartum.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Weight loss [8 months]
Weight loss through increased physical activity and dietary modification will achieve similar results when delivered via face-to-face contact (DPP) or via telehealth
