Pregnancy provides a glimpse into individuals’ future health threats, necessitating appropriate transitions of care. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) complicates up to 10% of pregnancies, placing affected adults of reproductive age and their infants at heightened risk for early onset of cardiometabolic problems including abnormal glucose metabolism, obesity, and hypertension. Longitudinal cardiometabolic risks suggest DCESs are essential resources for families following GDM-complicated pregnancies. Unfortunately, inadequate transitions from obstetrical to primary care often lead to missed opportunities for timely follow-up, including metabolic screening and referral for health promotion interventions. This presentation will review the lifelong health effects of GDM, care transition requirements, reproductive life planning considerations, and cardiometabolic risk reduction strategies that address this transgenerational health problem with a lifetime risk for diabetes and related cardiometabolic conditions.
