Approximately 1 in 2 people who have had Gestational Diabetes will go on to develop Type 2 diabetes within the next 5-10 years.
The good news is that there are lots of small changes you can make to prevent diabetes from developing in the first place.
If you have a previous history of or currently have Gestational Diabetes, you may be eligible for your local Healthier You service. This programme will help you take control of your health by supporting you to make changes to your lifestyle, diet and physical activity; all designed to reduce your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
