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.
