Can free meals and coaching help new moms with gestational diabetes avoid type 2 diabetes?

This pilot study at Johns Hopkins University will enroll 40 Black women who recently had gestational diabetes and are overweight. Half will receive prepared low-carb, low-fat meals plus nutrition counseling, lactation support, and culturally tailored food bundles; the other half gets standard prepared meals only. The study will measure whether the enhanced program is feasible, acceptable, and helps with weight control and diet quality over six months.
