What an absolute delight It was to chat with Robyn Compton. Being a dietitian, she brings such a wealth of knowledge and so much helpful information in a really supportive way.

Check out a summary of what we covered and find the link to watch our Instagram Live below!

 

Here’s some of what we covered:

  • What is GDM?

  • How and when it is diagnosed

  • Risk factors & contributing factors (some fascinating research around this)

  • Who might be involved in supporting you and helping you manage GDM

  • Main pillars of management (diet, lifestyle, exercise, +/- medication)

  • Testing BGL & what influences them

  • Diet

  • After you’ve birthed your baby, maintaining healthy diet and lifestyle

You can find Robyn and some really great info on Instagram at @gestationaldiabetes_dietitian.

Robyn can also contacted via email (just click the ‘email’ link in her profile). She practices privately in Melbourne and is also available for telehealth consults.

Thank you SO much Robyn, I learnt so much and I hope anyone watching who has had a GDM diagnosis feels a little less overwhelmed and more prepared and informed. As Robyn mentions - there can be some silver linings!

Much love -
