In this episode of Pulse Check with Archer Nursing, Dr. Morgan Taylor breaks down gestational diabetes in a super clear, test-ready way—starting with what the placenta does to metabolism and ending with the newborn complications nurses watch for after delivery. 

Dr. Taylor is joined by Dr. Jennifer Bonner, CNM, who walks through a high-stakes real-world scenario and shares practical counseling points for pregnancy management and long-term prevention. 

You’ll learn why pregnancy is basically a “metabolic stress test,” how placental hormones drive insulin resistance, and what happens when mom can’t keep blood sugars in range. 

Perfect for: nursing students, OB rotations, NCLEX prep, and anyone who wants GDM to finally “click.”
