The purpose of this study is to offer women with a history of gestational diabetes access to diabetes prevention programming; their children 10 and older can participate.

The purpose of this study is to offer women with a history of gestational diabetes access to diabetes prevention programming; their children 10 and older can participate. There are two potential types of participants:

1. Women and their children 10+ can consent to participate in the diabetes prevention programming offered through Dr. Hannon's center (called Encourage). Researchers will collect data at three time points, baseline, 4-6 months, and 12 months.
2. Instead of participating in Encourage, women may participate in other diabetes prevention programming/weight management programming offered by other entities. Researchers will consent these women into the study to complete 3 data collection points, baseline, 4-6 months, and 12 months. Additionally, researchers will consent women to obtain data from their chosen program. For instance, if a woman chooses to do a Diabetes Prevention Program through the YMCA, researchers will ask women to self report their weekly attendance and weight.
