Intervening to reduce weight gain in pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus in Cree communities: an evaluation.
A high prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes has been observed among the Cree of James Bay, Quebec. To address this problem, a diet and activity intervention during pregnancy, which was based on social learning theory, was initiated in 4 Cree communities. ⋯ This intervention had only a minor impact on diet; finding ways of encouraging appropriate body weight and activity levels remains a challenge.
