The Sweet Success program, a model of care for pre-pregnant and pregnant women with diabetes, has been developed by the Regional Perinatal Programs of California (RPPC) through the California Diabetes and Pregnancy Program (CDAPP). The RPPC and CDAPP are administered by the California State Department of Health Services, Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Branch and funded through Title V allocations. The goal of the CDAPP, through Sweet Success, is to improve pregnancy outcome for women who have overt diabetes prior to conception and for women who develop gestational diabetes, by reducing maternal and infant mortality and morbidity for this group of high-risk perinatal patients to a level near that of the normal low-risk perinatal population.
