We're looking for UK-based midwives and obstetricians for an online focus group on antenatal fetal monitoring (estimated 60-90 minutes). Please contact [email protected] if you're interested. You will need your NMC/GMC number to participate.

Using #CGM @TIME_research and others have revealed in-vivo glucose profiles associated with LGA in GDM. Here in a collaboration with @drkarenforbes they reveal potential mechanisms linking glucose fluctuations to fetal growth via modulation of the #placenta transcriptome

[Karen Forbes @drkarenforbes]

Our latest paper where we modelled in-vivo glucose levels to investigate the impact of diabetes on the placenta, is now out. Congratulations to all co-authors🥳 #diabetes #pregnancy #placenta #glucose @UoL_LICAMM @LeedsPRG
