Testing BGL & what influences them
Diet
After you’ve birthed your baby, maintaining healthy diet and lifestyle

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 -
