NICE guidance on diabetes in pregnancy: management of diabetes and its complications from preconception to the postnatal period. NICE clinical guideline 63. London, March 2008.

The evidence base to improve care has grown over subsequent decades and clinicians will welcome up-to-date NICE guidance on this topic. This review looks at the guidance from the perspective of a secondary care diabetes team.
