Hey First name / friend,   Hopefully by now you know that the main driver of gestational diabetes is HORMONES, produced by your body in response to pregnancy, and from the placenta. And you might already know about some of the typical risk factors for GD (and if you don't, don't worry, we cover these in the episode). But what if you don't fall into any of these categories? It can be very stressful and frustrating if you feel that you don't have any of those risk factors, and you generally aim to follow a healthy lifestyle, to be landed with a GD diagnosis. So why did this happen to you? The short answer - we don't really know. But there are a few theories.   This episode is an interview I did with the amazing Stef from the Dietologist, for her own podcast Fertility Friendly Food.   We really delved into what GD is, why you might have developed it, what the risks are, what you can do to manage it and what mistakes to avoid.   It's a great crash course - I think you'll enjoy it!   x
