Diabetes confers unique risks during the perinatal period, contributing to maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Integrating diabetes education and management services with obstetrical care offers key advantages for birthing individuals. This session will describe the development and implementation of a perinatal diabetes program at a large ambulatory practice serving a diverse population and discuss key preliminary findings related to time to initiation of diabetes care, percentage of women receiving recommended treatment across ethnicities and races (health equity), postpartum follow-up, and patient satisfaction.
