Did you know that if you have previously been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, you are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes? You are also at risk of developing Gestational Diabetes in future pregnancies.

Because of this risk, it is very important that you act now. Provided that you are not currently pregnant, you are now eligible to join the NHS Healthier You Diabetes Prevention Programme. This free programme will help you make small changes to your life which will make you healthier and less likely to develop diabetes.

To find out more about the programme, visit: preventing-diabetes.co.uk Or you can call the Healthier You Team on 0333 577 3010.

You will then need to contact your General Practice and ask a healthcare professional to refer you.
