Cathy Campbell is the first diabetes technology specialist midwife in the UK working at the Leicester Diabetes Centre in a role only recently introduced post the NICE TA943 on Hybrid Closed Loop.  

Cathy shares her expertise and insight on supporting people who are pregnant with type 1 or type 2 diabetes with Nic Taylor professional education specialist here at Dexcom UK & Ireland.  

Learn more about why it is important to keep glucose levels within the advised ranges during pregnancy and how technology has a role to play in this. A great listen not only for those working in diabetes but anyone working in pregnancy services in the UK and Ireland. 

If there is referral to pregnant women / ladies. This is not that we don’t acknowledge that some people we provide care for, don’t identify as women, but for the purpose of this podcast – the term women / ladies is used.
