Family behaviors and type 2 diabetes: what to target and how to address in interventions for adults with low socioeconomic status.
The researchers studied adults with type 2 diabetes at a Federally Qualified Health Center to better understand experiences with diabetes-specific family behaviors and willingness to engage family members in diabetes interventions. They found that some participants (40 percent) said engaging family in interventions would positively affect all members; others (27 percent) did not want to involve family.

Lifestyle behaviors and ethnic identity among diverse women at high risk for type 2 diabetes.
The authors examined if ethnic identity could help account for variations in lifestyle behaviors within a diverse population at high risk for type 2 diabetes. Their findings suggest that ethnic group attachment is associated with some lifestyle behaviors, independent of acculturation indicators, among young women with gestational diabetes who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes. They suggest that prospective research is needed to clarify the temporal nature of associations between ethnic identity and modifiable diabetes risk factors.

Moderate and vigorous intensity exercise during pregnancy and gestational weight gain in women with gestational diabetes.
The researchers estimated the associations of exercise intensity during pregnancy with the rate of gestational weight gain (GWG) from gestational diabetes (GDM) diagnosis to delivery. Upon stratification by prepregnancy overweight/obesity, they found that significant associations were only observed for BMI greater than or equal to 25.0. There were no associations observed for moderate intensity exercise.

The comparative effectiveness of diabetes prevention strategies to reduce postpartum weight retention in women with gestational diabetes mellitus: the gestational diabetes' effects on moms (GEM) cluster randomized controlled trial.
The researchers compared the effectiveness of diabetes prevention strategies addressing postpartum weight retention for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) delivered at the health system level: mailed recommendations (usual care) versus usual care plus a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)-derived lifestyle intervention. They found that a DPP-derived lifestyle intervention modestly reduced postpartum weight retention and increased vigorous-intensity physical activity.
