Diabetes and Pregnancy
We have made these films very carefully with our NHS health care professionals and people living with diabetes. All the information has been reviewed and signed off, but of course if you have any concerns you must contact your GP, midwife, diabetes nurse or consultant in the normal way. These films are also subtitled in Welsh if you would prefer - there's a blue button below that will take you to them instead. Otherwise explore below!
