This trial is testing two different ways to deliver a diabetes prevention program to women after pregnancy who are at higher risk for developing diabetes. One approach uses 24 in-person coaching sessions, while the other combines 12 in-person sessions with smartphone apps and digital tools to track your progress. The goal is to see which approach works best and is easiest to use in WIC clinics.
Many women develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy or gain weight that puts them at risk for type 2 diabetes after giving birth. This trial is trying to find the best way to help these women prevent diabetes from developing, and to see if using technology tools alongside coaching can make the program easier to fit into busy lives.

You will be assigned to one of two groups. If you're in the in-person group, you'll attend 24 health coaching sessions over one year at your WIC clinic, where a coach will help you with diet, exercise, and weight loss goals. If you're in the technology-assisted group, you'll attend 12 in-person sessions plus use smartphone apps and digital tools to track your food, activity, and weight, with your coach monitoring your progress online. Either way, you'll be followed for 12 months, with an extra check-in 6 months after the program ends.
