Recommendations for optimising physical activity after gestational diabetes: system targets
Fundamental patient care requirements must be fulfilled first, as without improvements in continuity of care and dedicated follow-up appointments after gestational diabetes, there is no opportunity to engage in physical activity conversations. Capitalising on existing community and local resources will also be helpful. To access activity spaces, co-located childcare is essential for some women, with further support to tailor physical activity as needed.
