Summary
This study tests whether having more frequent checkups with an obstetric provider or a study nurse during the first year after childbirth can help women with high blood pressure or diabetes manage their health better. One hundred women with Medicaid insurance who had these conditions during pregnancy will be followed. The goal is to see if this approach improves blood pressure and blood sugar control, potentially reducing long-term heart disease risk.
