Women with diabetes in pregnancy continue to have poor pregnancy outcomes compared to women without diabetes. Strict blood sugar control before and during pregnancy can reduce pregnancy complications. Despite the hard work of women with diabetes and their healthcare teams, very few women achieve guideline recommended blood sugar targets. My research program is focused on improving the health of both mothers with diabetes and their babies.
Dr. Yamamoto is a clinician researcher and recently joined the department of internal medicine at the University of Manitoba in July 2020.
