After your baby arrives, the appointments stop, the check-ins stop, and suddenly you're on your own — with a newborn and a future health risk nobody is really following up on. In this episode I'm talking about something that comes up consistently in research on women's experiences after GDM: abandonment. It's not a dramatic word — it's the word women themselves use. I unpack what the research tells us, why this gap exists, what it means for your long-term health, and why improving support for women after GDM is actually a recognised priority in Australia's National Diabetes Strategy. You deserved better follow-up than you got. Let's talk about it.

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!
