Abstract

Pre-conception care is recognised to be an effective strategy for addressing many health behaviours, particularly for women with diabetes, who carry a higher risk of morbidity and mortality. However, there is a lack of evidence of the most effective approaches for promoting pre-conception health and encouraging women to access services. This article explores this challenging issue and suggests a number of strategies that health professionals may consider in relation to promoting health in this area.
