Protocol for a multi-site randomised controlled feasibility study investigating intermittently scanned blood continuous glucose monitoring use for gestational diabetes: the RECOGNISE study.

Background: Incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing and is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes including macrosomia, pre-eclampsia, and pre-term delivery. Optimum glycaemic control can reduce these adverse perinatal outcomes. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) informs users about interstitial glucose levels allowing early detection of glycaemic excursions and pharmacological or behavioural intervention.

Patients with morbid obesity should not be routinely screened for Cushing's syndrome: Results of retrospective study of patients attending a specialist weight management service.

Cushing's syndrome (CS) is a rare condition which results in multi-system involvement and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Screening for CS in patients with obesity has been suggested to identify undiagnosed or occult cases. This study was performed to determine whether CS screening is indicated in a tier 3 weight management centre in the UK.

Nutritional and perinatal outcomes of pregnant women with a history of bariatric surgery: a case series from a UK centre.

Background: Women with obesity who become pregnant after bariatric surgery have a reduced risk of several obstetric complications; however, limited data exist from the UK population. The present study aimed to characterise a case series of women who attended a medical antenatal clinic for pregnancy following bariatric surgery.

Methods: Routine clinical information was collected retrospectively from the medical notes of women who had bariatric surgery and subsequently delivered between January 2012 and November 2018.

An overview of the management of diabetes from pre-conception, during pregnancy and in the postnatal period.

Diabetes is one of the most common medical conditions complicating pregnancy. Both pre-existing diabetes and gestational diabetes are associated with increased risks to the mother and fetus. These risks can be reduced by improving pre-conception and antenatal care.

Pregnancy after bariatric surgery: Consensus recommendations for periconception, antenatal and postnatal care.

The objective of the study is to provide evidence-based guidance on nutritional management and optimal care for pregnancy after bariatric surgery. A consensus meeting of international and multidisciplinary experts was held to identify relevant research questions in relation to pregnancy after bariatric surgery. A systematic search of available literature was performed, and the ADAPTE protocol for guideline development followed.
