What is LivingConnected® with Gestational Diabetes?
A collaborative program, providing breast pump services, lactation consulting, nutrition coaching, and remote blood glucose monitoring for expectant mothers.

Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (CDCES) evaluate blood glucose levels alongside nutrition, exercise, and behavioral health insights for a comprehensive view allowing them to effectively engage and guide pregnant women managing gestational diabetes.
- 24/7 monitoring via smart biometric devices
- Initial and post-partum depression assessments
- Personalized coaching from CCS clinicians
Breast Pump Delivery with Virtual Lactation Consulting
LivingConnected® with Gestational Diabetes program participants receive a breast pump with access to clinical guidance so breastfeeding can begin when baby arrives.
- CCS delivers a breast pump in the third trimester
- Real-time coaching and guidance from CCS clinicians and lactation consultants
- Breastfeeding is associated with median time to postpartum type 2 diabetes of 12.3 years compared with 2.3 years in women who did not breastfeed*
Improved Outcomes, Lower Birth Costs
Early intervention and management of gestational diabetes addresses and helps prevent adverse clinical outcomes so moms and babies have healthier pregnancies and safe, less costly, deliveries.
- Prevalence of gestational diabetes is on the rise with 6-9% of all pregnancies at risk
- Adverse clinical outcomes include higher rates of Cesarian deliveries, shoulder dystocia, and time in the NICU for the newborn
- By not avoiding these complications, cost of delivery can be nearly twice that of a healthy (non-gestational diabetes) delivery*
