The SUNRISE project capitalizes on our previous qualitative research that demonstrated our ability to identify facilitators and barriers that contribute to health engagement among patients with gestational diabetes. The proposed supplement widens the potential impact of the parent project beyond the postpartum period. Information gained about gestational diabetes engagement during pregnancy will shed important light on the lived experiences of diverse populations most affected by both suboptimal glycemic control and suboptimal postpartum screening for overt diabetes.
