Face-it
A research project for families where the mother has a history of gestational diabetes
Majken Pico at EASD 2026
Face-it PhD student Majken Pico attended this year’s European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) conference in Milan in September, where she presented preliminary findings from her PhD project. Her presentation focused on the partners of women with a history of gestational diabetes (GDM) – a group that often receives considerably less attention in health promotion and prevention efforts following a pregnancy affected by GDM.

About Face-it
Face-it is a research project targeted at families where the mother has had gestational diabetes. In collaboration with municipalities and hospitals across Denmark, we investigate whether a tailored postpartum intervention can improve quality of life and health for the whole family and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Here, you can find relevant information about the project - both if you are a participant and if you are a health care professional.
