Summary

This study looks at whether a 6-month lifestyle program or the medication metformin is better for helping mothers lose weight after having a baby and dealing with gestational diabetes.

They will track their diet and activity, attend group sessions, and may be randomly assigned to get extra lifestyle support or metformin.
