As part of Diabetes Prevention Week, there will be a chance to gain further information about the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) for women with a history of gestational diabetes at three hospitals within BLMK.

We aim to provide information about the free NHS DPP service offer and encourage women with a history of gestational diabetes to self-refer and take advantage of this valuable programme. Women can self-refer using the following link: bit.ly/GDMselfrefer.

Event posterMidwives and other professionals working with this group are invited to join us on the day to promote your services and encourage women to participate in the NHS DPP. Your presence and support will be invaluable in making these events successful.

We will be sharing information about the increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes among women who have had gestational diabetes. Approximately 1 in 2 women with a history of gestational diabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within 5-10 years. The NHS DPP is designed to help women make lifestyle changes to reduce this risk.
For more information about the NHS DPP, please read the information leaflet.
