DIABETES UK is hoping to hear from people who are interested in talking about their experiences of being pregnant and having gestational diabetes, Type 1 diabetes or Type 2 diabetes.
Claire Gordon, south west regional manager for Diabetes UK, said: "Coping with diabetes when you are pregnant can be really difficult – it requires a lot of work and dedication. Most women with diabetes have a healthy baby, but diabetes does give you a higher risk of some complications so it’s important to prepare and get the care you need to reduce the risk to your own and your baby's health.
"That’s why we want to hear your stories so that we can help other women with diabetes understand the importance of planning and support when it comes to pregnancy. We want to make sure that women have the best possible care and advice available to them. If you would like to share your story please e-mail us on south.west@diabetes.org.uk."
