With the COVID-19 pandemic, many changes were required in healthcare including a transition to virtual care, and alternative strategies for screening for gestational diabetes. We are looking at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of mothers affected by gestational diabetes and their babies in three Canadian provinces – Alberta, Ontario and Manitoba. Preliminary study results were presented at Vascular 2023, a multidisciplinary conference in Montreal. Details can be found in the abstract published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology.
This study is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
