Abstract
Aims: The implementation of type 2 diabetes prevention after gestational diabetes (GDM) is poor despite research evidence on efficacy. This is limited by the lack of knowledge of the priorities in real-world settings from the perspectives of local clinicians and women with lived experiences, particularly those from underserved populations. We report here a global consensus on the values, principles, and research priorities for the implementation of type 2 diabetes prevention in individuals after gestational diabetes (GDM), from the perspectives of clinicians and women from Asia, Africa, Oceania, the Americas, and Europe.
Methods: A team of health professionals and researchers from five continents formed the Cardiometabolic Health Implementation Research in Postpartum individuals (CHIRP) team. The CHIRP team undertook a priority setting process using the Modified Delphi and Nominal Group Technique. Health professionals and women with a lived experience of GDM from five continents were invited to participate. Values, principles, and research priorities were voted on by all participants.
Results: A total of 100 consumers and health professionals from 11 countries across the five continents participated in the consensus process. The top-ranked values and principles were 'universal access', 'evidence-based', and 'equity-driven'. The top-ranked research priorities were 'stress and mental well-being', 'information on exercise and diet', 'lactation and breastfeeding', 'exercise after childbirth', and 'physical environment for healthy eating'.
Conclusions: Addressing mental wellbeing through strategies that are universally accessible, evidence-based, and equity-driven will increase the success of the real-world implementation and knowledge translation of type 2 diabetes prevention in women with a history of GDM in global settings.
期刊介绍:
Diabetic Medicine, the official journal of Diabetes UK, is published monthly simultaneously, in print and online editions.
The journal publishes a range of key information on all clinical aspects of diabetes mellitus, ranging from human genetic studies through clinical physiology and trials to diabetes epidemiology. We do not publish original animal or cell culture studies unless they are part of a study of clinical diabetes involving humans. Categories of publication include research articles, reviews, editorials, commentaries, and correspondence. All material is peer-reviewed.
We aim to disseminate knowledge about diabetes research with the goal of improving the management of people with diabetes. The journal therefore seeks to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers worldwide. Topics covered are of importance to all healthcare professionals working with people with diabetes, whether in primary care or specialist services.
Surplus generated from the sale of Diabetic Medicine is used by Diabetes UK to know diabetes better and fight diabetes more effectively on behalf of all people affected by and at risk of diabetes as well as their families and carers.”
