Education Nutritional Video for Gestational Diabetics
Education Nutritional Video for Gestational Diabetics
The purpose of this research study is to find out if watching an educational video about
 nutrition helps participants learn about how different foods affect their blood sugar and how
 Gestational Diabetes affects pregnancy.
-  Patients diagnosed with gestational diabetes receive standard nutritional counseling at
 their first high risk clinic visit. All patients agreeing to participate in the study
 will at this visit fill out a knowledge questionnaire prior to receiving counseling.

 -  Patients will be randomized into standard counseling or standard counseling plus
 educational video using sealed envelopes that have been randomized by a computer
 generator and labeled for example #1 - #100 based on order enrolled in study. The
 envelope will have a piece of paper with video or no video

 -  At the next High risk clinic visit one week later patients randomized to the educational
 video will watch the video on a clinic designated computer after being checked in by
 nursing. They will then fill out the same questionnaire. Patients that are randomized to
 no video will only refill out the questionnaire

 -  English-speaking patients will view the English version of the video, and
 Spanish-speaking patients will view the Spanish version of the video in either English
 or the dubbed Spanish version.

 -  A Spanish version of the patient hand-out will be provided in an amendment, prior to
 their use with Spanish- speaking patients.
