MyGDM Scotland

Transforming gestational (pregnancy) diabetes care in Scotland.

gestational diabetes

MyGDM Scotland is a research project aiming to optimise the management of gestational (pregnancy) diabetes in Scotland in order to improve outcomes for pregnant women, pregnant people and their children. 

The project has 3 interconnected work packages:

  1. Trialing universal screening, improved postnatal follow-up (such as postnatal home-testing of HbA1c), and interventions with digital support tools like a GDM app.
  2. A pilot and roll-out of a Scotland-wide gestational diabetes audit (independent review) to improve data collection and care quality and outcomes.
  3. Embed the voices of women and people who have had experience of gestational diabetes in the research process to ensure inclusion and properly inform the research's design.
