Want to Be Pregnant One Day? Gestational Diabetes Explained w/ Ryann

The Flourish Heights Podcast

It's Diabetes Month! Today, I am diving into the topic of gestational diabetes with our special guest Ryann, also known as "prenatal nutritionist" on IG. Every year, 2% to 10% of pregnancies in the United States are affected by gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that can develop during pregnancy in women who don’t already have diabetes. In this episode, we are discussing risk factors, complications of this condition, and what to eat for better blood sugar management. Why is this SO important? Managing gestational diabetes will help you have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. If you're looking to be pregnant one day or want to know more about this topic, listen up!

The Flourish Heights Podcast was made for women, by women. To be empowered in health starts with a true connection with your body. Join Valerie Agyeman, Women’s Health Dietitian as she breaks through topics surrounding periods, women’s nutrition, body awareness, and self-care.
