COG#2 - Gestational Diabetes

For August’s conversation in Obstetrics and Gynecology we talk to Dr Sophie Poulter, an endocrinologist and obstetric medicine physician about gestational diabetes. Then we have a quick chat with Dr Jessica McGrath, a senior paediatric registrar about the management of neonates whose mothers are affected by gestational diabetes.
