CEMACH recently held three national launch conferences across the UK to mark the launch of the final report of the Diabetes in Pregnancy programme. This programme was commenced in 2001 to provide a national overview of the epidemiological, organisational and clinical issues associated with diabetes in pregnancy.  The report draws together previous modules of the programme including the national survey of diabetes maternity service provision (published 2004) and the report on pregnancy outcomes and standards of care for women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (published 2005) together with the findings of the confidential enquiry into a sample of 500 pregnancies.   

 

These conferences included updates on research initiatives in the area of diabetes and pregnancy, and presentations of national data by other European countries.
