Abstract
In England and Wales, around 2%–5% of women will be affected by diabetes during prgnancy (1). Diabetes affects carbohydrate metabolism which necessitates immediate lifestyle modifications. In pregnancy, diabetes can play a huge impact on the wellbeing of both the foetus and the mother. The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) estimated that approximately 87.5% of pregnancies complicated by diabetes are as a result of gestational diabetes, with 7.5% attributed to type 1 diabetes and 5% to type 2 diabetes (1).
