Episode Details

Type 2 diabetes is hitting younger women harder than ever, with diagnoses in women under forty soaring 47% in just a few years—while obesity rates climb, nearly one in three women now classified as obese. This surge isn’t just a numbers game: unmanaged diabetes can lead to heart attacks, strokes, blindness, and amputations. Once considered an older person’s disease, it’s now affecting younger generations with alarming speed. A major concern? Many women who develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy aren’t getting the critical postnatal blood tests needed to catch type 2 diabetes early. Diabetes UK is sounding the alarm, calling for urgent action to ensure proper follow-up care—because pregnancy shouldn’t be a gateway to lifelong health complications.
