Controversies in Diabetes and Pregnancy

Dear colleagues,

The World Diabetes Day which falls on 14 November is time to address the inequalities in care for people with diabetes. Diabetes in women is underappreciated and is sub optimally managed. Managing diabetes in pregnancy gives an opportunity to improve not only the health of the mother, but also the baby for its life span. Appropriate management of diabetes in pregnancy is an effective intergenerational intervention. 

To discuss the various controversies in diabetes and pregnancy, PRAN Fertility and Well Women Centre along with Providence Endocrine and Diabetes Specialty Centre is organising this interesting interactive session
