People that have suffered from Diabetes when they were pregnant are far more likely to have Type 2 Diabetes later in life. But, you can make good health and diet choices to prevent Type 2 Diabetes.

The Healthier You Diabetes Prevention Programme (DPP) is a nine-month support service that will help people at risk of Type 2 Diabetes to learn about how they can eat helthier, exercise more, and manage their weight. 

This service is available to anyone who has experienced, or is currently experiencing Diabetes during pregnancy, and it’s free.

A doctors referral isn’t needed either, it’s just a quick form to self refer, or you can speak to your midwife about starting the programme after pregnancy.

More infromation on Diabetes during pregnancy (Gestational Diabetes) is available here.
