Diabetes UK has enhanced and extended the Pregnancy and diabetes section of its website. These webpages help to explain the diverse issues that affect women with diabetes when planning for a family and during their pregnancy.

The site provides information to support expectant parents, their families and healthcare professionals. It also benefits from new case studies from women who have been affected, whose stories dramatically bring the issues into focus.

We would like to thank our volunteers who have generously shared their experiences with us to help support others.
