May 5, 2008, 11:27am (report abuse)Please accept this posting in regard to the GeDi Act of 2007. Specifically, I am writing in support of this long-overdue, medical and political proposal.
I am a social scientist who is currently working on a doctoral disseration that is focused on exploring the pathogenisis between GeDi and Type 2.
I encourage all who read this posting to consider supporting the GeDi Act..For it is my hope that the resources for health and wellness- may one day- be distributed more equitably to the women, children and families who are impacted by the long-term consequences of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.
Thank You!

Thank You!
