DESCRIPTION; CHARSET=UTF-8 :SPA Research seminar: Abstract:
There is increasing prevalence of ‘maternal obesity’, Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and Type Two Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in pregnancy.  Increasing prevalence of diabetes in pregnancy is widely attributed to dramatically increasing levels of ‘obesity’ in women of childbearing age.  Co-existing ‘maternal obesity’ and GDM/T2DM, or ‘maternal diabesity’, complicates increasing numbers of pregnancies in the UK.
These ‘conditions’ are associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.  Recent research indicates an ‘obese’/diabetic ‘intrauterine milieu’ may epigenetically programme the foetus to obesity/diabetes in later life.  This is considered to be an important factor in the perpetuation of the ‘diabesity epidemic’.  Biomedical/policy discourses emphasise the necessity for women to effect lifestyle changes in order for this public health issue to be ameliorated.http://www.exeter.ac.uk/events/details/?event=2302
