Pilot area 1 - Maternity Focus on Pre-gestational diabetes Growing proportion of pregnancies in women with type 2 diabetes – 44.9% compared with 27.3% 10 years ago only 5% of those with type 1 & 19 % of those with type 2 achieved the target blood glucose readings for early pregnancy set out in national guidelines Stillbirth rates remain unchanged Only 24.7% of women with type 2 taking recommended dose of folic acid All data from National Pregnancy in Diabetes Audit deficiencies-in-basic-preparation-and-care#SkipNavigation

Maternity – pre gestational diabetes Changing demographic of women with diabetes causes huge preparation problem -older - have had diabetes for short time -socially deprived - BME groups Therefore unlikely to be seen in specialist services

What is our focus? 1. Testing an assumption (backed up by research) that women with diabetes are not aware of the risks when they are pregnant 2. Finding out what would help women better manage potential risks and change their behaviours 3. Where and when women would want that advice to be delivered?
