About

Claire Meek is a consultant in the diabetes in pregnancy service at Addenbrooke’s hospital, Cambridge (UK) and a group leader at the Institute of Metabolic Science, University of Cambridge. She is supported by a Diabetes UK intermediate clinical fellowship and Future Leaders’ Award from the European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes in association with the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Dr Meek’s research interests include diabetes, nutrition and obesity in pregnancy. She has contributed to the CONCEPTT trial, assessing real time continuous glucose monitoring in women with type 1 diabetes in pregnancy, which led to widespread changes in clinical care internationally. She is currently running a whole-diet randomised controlled trial to test a dietary intervention in gestational diabetes (DiGest trial) and an observational study assessing causes of gestational diabetes (OPHELIA study).
