    Quotes by Lily Nichols

    “I was observing how poorly the guidelines were working for my clients so I say did they fail diet therapy or did diet therapy fail them?”

    “I talk about gestational diabetes being like the warning light coming on in your car because it is a sign that your body has trouble adapting to an increase in insulin resistance.“

    “It is not fate or destiny that you are going to develop Type 2 Diabetes”

    “It’s not just immediately at birth or in those first few days that can affect baby’s ability to manage blood sugar, the rest of their life”

     “Babies are meant to be in ketosis when they are born“
