Assuming other factors remain unchanged, our best estimation of age-adjusted HIP will show stabilisation between 2019 to 2045 of 15.8% to 16.0% (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)

Novel therapies for diabetes mellitus in pregnancy
This article will review recent clinical studies to summarize established treatment strategies and introduce novel therapies for diabetes in pregnancy (BMJ)

National Pregnancy In Diabetes Annual Report 2016
This report includes data on women with diabetes with completed pregnancies between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2016 and where the data was submitted to the audit by 10 February 2017. In 2016, 3,304 pregnancies in 3,297 women with diabetes were recorded in 172 antenatal diabetes services (NHS)
Continuous glucose monitoring in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes (CONCEPTT): a multicentre international randomised controlled trial
Use of CGM during pregnancy in patients with type 1 diabetes is associated with improved neonatal outcomes, which are likely to be attributed to reduced exposure to maternal hyperglycaemia (The Lancet)

Pregnancy Following Bariatric Surgery—Medical Complications and Management
Finally, early diagnosis of surgical complications of prior weight loss procedures during pregnancy requires a high clinical index of suspicion and prompt referral to a specialist bariatric centre (Obesity Surgery)
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Early Pregnancy: Evidence for Poor Pregnancy Outcomes Despite Treatment
Despite early testing and current best practice treatment, early GDM in high-risk women remains associated with poorer pregnancy outcomes (Diabetes Care)
Pregnancy Outcomes in Youth With Type 2 Diabetes: The TODAY Study Experience
Despite diabetes-specific information recommending birth control and the avoidance of pregnancy, 10% of the study participants became pregnant. Pregnancies in youth with type 2 diabetes may be especially prone to result in congenital anomalies. Reasons for the high rate of congenital anomalies are uncertain, but may include poor metabolic control and extreme obesity (Diabetes Care)

Comparison of groups with and without diabetes mellitus and preeclampsia in pregnancy: A retrospective case-control comparison
The development of preE in those with pre-existing DM led to growth restriction and more severe disease as evidenced by lower birth weights corrected for gestational age and earlier gestational ages at delivery. These differences were not seen in pregnancies where DM developed during the pregnancy. This observation supports the concept that elevated glucose levels during placental development in the first trimester may alter the placenta and lead to restriction later in pregnancy when a second stimulus triggers preE (Pregnancy Hypertension)
Diabetic Retinopathy in Pregnancy: A Population-Based Study of Women with Pregestational Diabetes
This study highlights the role of prepregnancy care and the importance of close monitoring during pregnancy and identifies those patients at the highest risk for retinopathy progression (Journal of Diabetes Research)
