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.
