Diabetes in Pregnancy Expert Witnesses in South East
Diabetes in Pregnancy includes pre-existing type 1 or type 2 diabetes and diabetes first diagnosed during pregnancy. Poorly controlled blood glucose can increase risks of fetal overgrowth, pre-eclampsia, birth complications and neonatal hypoglycaemia. Management involves glucose monitoring, dietary advice, medication where needed and coordinated antenatal care. Independent expert witnesses can provide opinions on screening, glycaemic management, fetal surveillance, delivery planning, clinical standards and causation in Clinical Negligence proceedings.
