Gestational Diabetes
When you are informed by your doctor that you have gestational diabetes, it can be quite overwhelming trying to figure out how to manage it – much less understand your nutritional needs.
- Maybe you were given a glucose meter to check your blood sugar and you’re either afraid of poking your finger or you are testing your blood sugar but unclear as to what those numbers mean.
- Maybe you are worried about your baby.
- Most of all, you’re terrified that you might need insulin.
For some women, changing their diet and exercise is all that’s needed to lower blood sugar. Actually, diet and exercise are the primary treatments for gestational diabetes.
That means there is a chance you won’t need medicine or insulin. But only your medical provider can make that call.
As a registered dietitian nutritionist and diabetes educator specializing in women with gestational diabetes, I’ve heard all of these concerns and more. I have helped literally hundreds of women have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby despite having gestational diabetes. Contact me immediately to get started.
