From the shadows: A qualitative study of fathers' perspectives and experiences of their partner's gestational diabetes mellitus and its implications
Fathers encountered wide-ranging impacts of their partners' GDM. Fathers provided both practical and emotional support to their partners. Engaging fathers in discussions at diagnosis and in management could facilitate the maintenance of positive health behaviour changes postpartum, potentially reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes for both parents.
