Sweet Success Program

Our Sweet Success program includes small group meetings and individual counseling. Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that may develop during pregnancy in women who do not otherwise have diabetes.

The program covers day-to-day management of blood glucose levels during pregnancy and prevention of type 2 diabetes post partum. All patients receive basic information about diabetes, nutrition recommendations, meal plans and home glucose monitoring instructions and training on taking insulin if needed.
