to its list of educational venues regarding Maternity/Newborn care.

Sweet Success Extension Program (SSEP) was  a 501(c) (3) nonprofit corporation which closed December 31, 2021.  Their goal to promote Diabetes and Pregnancy guidelines through education, continues with SSE. Teaching guidelines remain based on the CA Sweet Success Model of Care by making it available and accessible to diabetes and pregnancy programs nationwide. This model of care remains the leading authority in diabetes and pregnancy guidelines and has been successfully implemented in various settings including managed care, primary care, clinics, offices, medical centers and hospitals ​at all levels of care in numerous states, and at Indian Health Service facilities. SSE will continue to provide conferences and support services for health care providers nationwide.

 This 28th annual event will again be “Live Virtual”
but you have the option to watch “live” or recorded.

The conference has an expanded focus this year with the partnership of Preeclampsia Foundation with Sweet Success Express.  

Please join us for An Opportunity for Prevention: Diabetes and Gestational Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy

This year’s conference is expanded. We welcome the Preeclampsia Foundation as an educational partner. Our hope is to expand recognition of the work of  each of our groups to a broader audience. My work in Sweet Success Express (SSE) and with Professional Education Center (PEC) brought me into connection with Preeclampsia Foundation and their founder, Eleni Tsigas, many years ago. I have marveled at their work and expansion and know that we have the shared goal of improving women’s and family health by providing education to both professionals and patients. In addition, I speak for the planning group here, we view both diabetes and hypertension as being “silent partners” in
vascular pathology. They separately, and often together, add comorbidity to pregnancy and lifelong implications for altered health. As practitioners you often address issues from both, so we hope to streamline that with expanded knowledge of both entities.

Our collective practical approach to guidance and consideration of individual needs saves lives and promotes healthy living.
Components of treatment must take into consideration each family’s knowledge deficit(s); teaching needs and styles of learning; demonstration needs; telecommunication resources; extra testing, time, and expense; needed life-style changes;
motivation and mastery assessment and guidance.

Topics to be discussed in our conference:
Preconception Counseling, Motivational Interviewing, Psychological Components of Chronic Illness, Testing and Diagnosis Criteria for both Diabetes and Gestational Hypertensive Disorders, New Biomarkers for Preeclampsia and Their Use in Practice, Comorbidities, Increased Awareness for Signs and Symptoms, Glucose Monitoring, Use of CGM and Insulin infusion pumps, MNT, Medication Management for both disorders, Targeted glucose control, Importance of sleep, Planning Birth Care, Update on vaccinations in pregnancy, Newborn Care, and Immediate Post Partum follow up and Beyond Pregnancy Health.
