The period of conception, pregnancy and the first 1000 days of life are crucial for a person's lifelong health. The recent rises in obesity before conception, through pregnancy and during childhood are increasing the risk of a non‐communicable disease epidemic in the near future. Preventive measures targeted at the community level and implemented by local authorities may be the most effective way of creating healthy environments that improve lifelong health.

Diabetes mellitus is characterised by hyperglycaemia, requiring strict management regimens to avoid associated health complications. Diagnosis and/or management of diabetes during young adulthood can be particularly challenging, potentially contributing to significant psychological distress and struggles with management, culminating in poor physical and mental health outcomes.

D is one of a number of risk factors associated with development of dementia and the effect of risk factor modification is an important topic of research. The results of a comprehensive analysis of the effect of maintaining risk factors within the target range were presented at the meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in September 2021 and simultaneously published in Diabetes Care.1 This takes us a step further towards understanding how to reduce the risk of dementia, while raising further questions.

Background: Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is characterised by inadequate secretion of pancreatic enzymes and can result in significant gastrointestinal symptoms, malabsorption and increased morbidity.

Background: Elevated fasting glucose in gestational diabetes (GDM) is the strongest predictor of adverse pregnancy outcomes but is difficult to treat. We assessed the effectiveness, safety, and patient acceptability of a simple patient‐led insulin dose titration algorithm in GDM, targeting rapid reduction in fasting glucose.

Increasing evidence suggests that parental risk factors for non‐communicable diseases (NCDs) in the period before conception could affect their lifelong health and increase the risk of NCDs in the offspring. While many of these risks such as obesity, smoking and dietary patterns are influenced by wider socio‐economic factors, screening and identification of risk factors can be conducted in the clinical setting to provide appropriate preventive interventions. This article discusses the role of health care practitioners in preventing the risk of NCDs and opportunities for action in the preconception period.
