In this episode, leading experts from international endocrine and diabetes organisations discuss newly launched guidelines on diabetes and pregnancy.

The conversation explores the importance of preconception care, nutrition during pregnancy, the use of metformin and GLP-1 therapies, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and the often-overlooked postpartum period.

With growing numbers of women living with diabetes during pregnancy, these guidelines aim to standardise care and address critical gaps in evidence and clinical practice. Join us as we examine the challenges, controversies, and future directions in diabetes and pregnancy care.
