About 4 in 10 women with diabetes during pregnancy develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years after childbirth. In the long term, type 2 diabetes can cause serious health complications. Some of the ways that diabetes can be prevented include following a healthy diet and lifestyle during pregnancy. There is still lots to learn about how to best advise women and mothers about the best way to lower their risk of diabetes.

Join our webinar and find out more about our research on preventing diabetes during and after pregnancy, as well as what to expect in the next few years. Hear from researchers and women who took part in our research, learn about how you can help with our mission, and take part in our competition to be in with a chance of winning some fantastic prizes!
