Summary: Diabetes and Women's Health Study

The Center for Innovation in Diabetes Education at Joslin Diabetes Center is conducting an educational research project on women's health for women of childbearing age with type 1 or 2 diabetes. The study is evaluating a women's health education class that aims to improve women's awareness of health issues related to diabetes and preconception planning. Eligible study volunteers will be asked to participate in a 1 ½ hour education class, have blood drawn for two A1c measurements, and fill out surveys. The class will cover important subjects such as the impact of diabetes on the menstrual cycle, prevention of osteoporosis, and the need for preconception planning. Participants will be asked to come to the Joslin twice over a two month period, and parking and monetary compensation are available.
