Effectiveness Study of a Lifestyle Intervention Versus Metformin in Mothers With Recent Gestational Diabetes

Participants randomized to Metformin will have a prescription of Metformin 850mg orally twice a day. The participant will get blood drawn for testing, undergo a urine pregnancy test, and meet with the study provider to discuss the medication.

Participants in the Lifestyle Intervention will meet once a week via zoom with the study health counselor to go over lesson plans. After 4 weeks, participants will meet via zoom every other week.

Participants in the Enhanced Lifestyle Intervention will meet every other week, and will get a free instacart membership to have access to free grocery delivery. Additionally, participants in this intervention will have a 1:1 virtual meeting focused on meal planning with the study health counselor.
