Episode description

Did you know that approximately one in six pregnancies worldwide is affected by hyperglycaemia? That's a staggering 21 million women!

Pregnancy can be an exciting time, but it can also present challenges, especially for expectant mothers with diabetes. In this episode of D-Talk, Professors Helena Backman and David Simmons join host Phyllisa Deroze to explore screening and treatment options available for diabetes during pregnancy, potential complications for both mother and baby, postpartum care and the importance of managing diabetes for future pregnancies.
