While it is for national health service providers and commissioners to decide how best to meet the needs of pregnant women with diabetes, both the National Service Framework for Diabetes, and the National Service Framework for Children, Young People and Maternity Services include standards that refer specifically to diabetes in pregnancy. Commissioners should aim to provide services that meet these standards.
To support this, the National Clinical Director for Diabetes is currently working with key stakeholders to develop a project to support the NHS in improving outcomes for women with diabetes.
