Did your diagnosis of gestational diabetes feel like it came out of nowhere? It can be such a mindf*ck. Especially if the only thing you've been told about GD is that you have to go have a super sugary drink and get a bunch of blood tests to find out if you have it, and then cut out carbs if you do (which is a myth, by the way). Before your test, you might have been thinking something along the lines of: "I'm fit and I eat healthy! There's no way I'll be diagnosed." On the other hand you could have been anxious, worried that you love carbs a little too much, and just praying that GD won't happen to you. Either way, it can be a shock when you get the news. In this episode I break down the biggest risk factors (and some small ones!) that predispose you to GD, to help you make sense of things and give you clarity and reassurance about the situation. And please know, no matter what, gestational diabetes is NOT your fault. You are an amazing mum and you've got this x
