Abstract
Lifestyle change can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes among women with prior
gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). While understanding women’s lived experiences and
views around GDM is critical to the development of behaviour change interventions to
reduce this risk, few studies have addressed this issue in low- and middle- income countries.
The aim of the study was to explore women’s lived experiences of GDM and the feasibility of
sustained lifestyle modification after GDM in a low-income setting.
