Abstract
Women who are obese with a history of gestational diabetes are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. A weight loss of as little as 15 pounds can decrease these long-term risks. This case presentation reviews practical issues related to encouraging women to make important lifestyle changes and to adhere to taking cholesterol-lowering medications.Entities:
