Through the Framework for the Prevention, Early Detection and Early Intervention of Type 2 Diabetes (The Framework), Scottish Government are supporting NHS boards to develop and enhance pathways for those diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

The Framework identifies those with gestational diabetes as being at high risk of developing type 2 Diabetes after pregnancy. Through the implementation of the Framework, NHS boards offer those diagnosed with gestational diabetes timely access to type 2 Diabetes prevention education, specialist dietetic treatment and, where appropriate, access to a suitable weight management programme after their pregnancy.

Using investment in the Framework to date, Scotland’s NHS Health boards have developed enhanced options for pregnant women for treatment of gestational diabetes in pregnancy. These involve education and clinical support provided by specialist midwives and dietitians. The results of this have seen a significant number of pregnant women controlling their blood-sugar levels through diet alone. The investment in 2021-22 is referenced in response to S6W-14363 on 6 February 2023.

We are in year 5 of delivery of the Framework, which has seen the adoption of effective and evidence based treatments across Scotland. Through regular investment, we continue to support NHS boards to improve weight management services.

In 2022-23, NHS Scotland health boards were allocated £5,946,496 to support the implementation of the Framework. With investment to date, boards have continued to expand the delivery of weight management services and incorporated digital platforms, in line with our . These standards aim to ensure a fair and equal approach in weight management services in Scotland. We have committed to funding the continued implementation of the Framework for at least the duration of this parliamentary term, to 2026-27.

To support health boards in planning and implementing the Framework, we have appointed two professional advisers. They provide direct support to boards through attendance at local oversight groups and in the setting of annual milestones to ensure Framework delivery. Alongside this, Framework implementation is monitored by our national oversight group.
