Focus group participant characteristics.

24 of 29 participants completed an exit questionnaire and 13 had blood tests following pregnancy that permitted computation of a measure of insulin resistance.
#Regular physical activity defined as an activity performed at a moderate intensity for a total of 30 minutes throughout the day on most days of the week OR vigorous activity 3 times a week for 20 minutes at a time.
€Homeostasis Model Assessment–Insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), Matsuda Index and 1 hour post cibum (1 hr PC) were calculated for 13 participants who underwent 75 g oral glucose tolerance testing with 4 time points at the McGill University Health Centre; HOMA-IR ≥3.6 imply possible hepatic insulin resistance if concomitantly overweight/obese; Matsuda Index ≥3.0 imply possible whole body insulin resistance (Stern SE et al., Diabetes 2005; http://mmatsuda.diabetes-smc.jp/english.html); 1 hr PC ≥8.61 mmol/L (155 mg/dl) is a marker of cardiovascular risk and insulin resistance (Bardini et al., Diabetes Care 2010).
