This study is testing an updated version of the National Diabetes Prevention Program called NDPP-NextGen. This program is designed for young women who are overweight or have obesity and are planning to become pregnant. The goal is to see if NDPP-NextGen can help improve blood sugar levels before pregnancy and reduce body mass index (BMI) in early pregnancy. This could help prevent health problems for both mothers and their children. You might be able to join if you are a woman between 18 and 39 years old, have a BMI of 25 or higher (or 23 if you are of Asian descent), are English or Spanish-speaking, and are interested in becoming pregnant within the next two years. The study aims to enroll 403 participants, but the current recruitment status is unclear.
