Gestational Diabetes/Diabetes And Pregnancy/Communication With Migrants

In the following, the difficulty of treating a chronic disease (diabetes) during pregnancy in women with a migration background is presented using the example of an obese woman with pre-existing high blood pressure, polycystic ovary syndrome and depression, and with little education and insufficient or missing German skills. Some theoretical explanations are presented and then the case is described using a series of recommendations on culturally sensitive communication.
