Diabetes in pregnancy: management from preconception to the postnatal period

Resource impact statement

Resource impact statement: no significant resource impact is anticipated

The NICE guideline on diabetes in pregnancy: management from preconception to the postnatal period updates and replaces the former guideline NG3 published in 2015.

We do not expect this update to have a significant impact on resources; that is:

• the resource impact of implementing any single guideline recommendation in England will be less than £1 million per year (or £1,800 per 100,000 population) and
• the resource impact of implementing the whole guideline in England will be less than £5 million per year (or £9,000 per 100,000 population).

This is because the updated recommendations are unlikely to lead to a significant change in practice. Most centres currently offer flash and/or continuous glucose monitoring to pregnant women with type 1 diabetes (in accordance with the NHS long-term plan).

Diabetes services are commissioned by clinical commissioning groups, integrated care systems and strategic transformation partnerships. Providers are NHS hospital trusts, community providers and primary care providers.
