Ep. 5 The All-Important Glucose-Insulin Relationship
Understanding what's happening inside your body is the first step to taking control of your health after GDM.
In Episode 5, I explain the glucose-insulin relationship in plain language—how your body processes carbohydrates, what insulin does, and why some women are more at risk of developing type 2 diabetes after gestational diabetes.
Understanding why glucose levels can appear 'normal' is important for long-term health because what is not always obvious is the truth about high insulin levels can be doing damage without you knowing it. I discuss this to help you understand why you need to know what's happening inside your body, and more importantly, how to manage this.
I'm also sharing something exciting: the launch of the Healthy Futures Individual Insight Program—a small but very dedicated healthcare team and personalised support for women who are ready to learn more about their body.
This episode will help you understand the importance of knowing what is happening inside YOUR body.
Whether you're newly postpartum, years past your GDM diagnosis, or supporting someone who's been through this experience, this podcast is for you. Let's create healthy futures together!
