Request Summary: diabetes in pregnancy or gestational diabetes

Request Category: Health




 
Question Number 1:
I would like to make a freedom of information request to access your NHS trust’s guideline that covers the screening and management of diabetes in pregnancy or gestational diabetes.

I am interested to know in detail how your trust screens pregnant women who have a history of gestational diabetes in a previous pregnancy for gestational diabetes in their subsequent pregnancy. This would include multiple details that would be best covered by receiving the full guideline, including i) method(s) of screening for gestational diabetes in those with previous gestational diabetes (such as early capillary blood glucose monitoring, glucose tolerance tests, random blood glucose, HbA1c etc.) ii) diagnostic thresholds for method of screening iii) gestation that screening method occurs and whether it is repeated or continued throughout the pregnancy iv) whether any treatment or specific advice is given at the start of pregnancy to mothers with a history of previous gestational diabetes prior to the results of any screening test.

Please find attached x2 guidelines in response to the above request.
