Today at Diabetes UK, ABCD is pleased to announce the full launch of the nationwide semaglutide audit. As you will know, the clinical trials with semaglutide suggest that it is more effective than the other GLP-1 receptor agonists that we have to date, and it is now of interest for us to find out to what extent the experience in clinical trials translates into the real world.

Abstract

Introduction: The incidence and prevalence of diabetes is increasing in pregnant women. Midwives manage a substantial proportion of care of these women. Currently it is not
known whether midwives have sufficient competence in managing these patients well. The Diabetes Care Trust commissioned a survey to assess the diabetes education and training needs of midwives who look after pregnant women with diabetes.
