Aim: To describe the design and methods of an intervention that engaged women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus in a tailored approach for diabetes prevention. Methods: Women participated in biometric tests for BMI and hemoglobin A1c, psychosocial questionnaires and an informed decision-making process to select a lifestyle change program for Type 2 diabetes prevention based on their needs and priorities. Measure time points were at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. Results: The authors recruited 116 women. The outcomes of this study will evaluate the effect of this strategy on participant engagement in lifestyle change programs for Type 2 diabetes prevention. Conclusion: This paper describes a variety of lifestyle change programs and an informed decision-making process for tailoring diabetes prevention programs for a high-risk population.
