Diabetes
Vol. 28 No 1 | Autumn 2026
The Autumn 2026 edition of O&G Magazine looks at diabetes in pregnancy. With rates of type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on the rise, diabetes in pregnancy is no longer a subspecialty concern – it is core business for the O&G profession. The articles in this issue span clinical case studies, nutrition, confronting cultural bias, lived experience, equity and discrimination in diabetes care, and more.
This edition aims to stimulate not only clinical reflection, but also critical self-examination. It highlights the importance of listening – to evidence, to experts, dietitians and multidisciplinary colleagues, and to the women and whānau at the centre of our care.

Q&A: Managing lichen sclerosus
Lichen sclerosus (LS) is not rare in women over 50 and, if not treated, can result in devastating consequences. Unlike most other skin conditions, it can be complicated by severe scarring that may completely obliterate all vulval structure. Further, untreated, there is a 5% risk of squamous cell carcinoma involving affected skin. Both of these complications appear preventable with treatment.
