To ask the Scottish Government what it has done to ensure structured patient education is available for all women (a) living with diabetes during and (b) planning a pregnancy.

As part of the Scottish Diabetes Group, we have a sub-group focusing on Education. This group is currently working towards a ‘Once for Scotland’ pathway for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes – both of which will have pregnancy specific content and support.

The Framework for the Prevention, Early Detection and Early Intervention of Type 2 Diabetes indicates that for those diagnosed with gestational diabetes, structured education for the prevention of Type 2 diabetes should be offered post-partum and, where appropriate, referral to a weight management programme after pregnancy. Through investment, some NHS Boards have developed enhanced options for pregnant women for treatment of gestational diabetes in pregnancy. These involve education and clinical support provided by specialist midwives and dietitians.
