Unmasking Barriers in the Delivery of Preconception Counseling and Contraception Provision for Patients With Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes

What is it about?

Pre-existing diabetes in pregnancy increases risk of poor outcomes in women and their children.

We improved counseling at our clinic but also found barriers to making this change.
