In this episode, Anja Health Founder Kathryn Cross talks with Registered Dietitian Leslee Flannery all about gestational diabetes.

Topics include—

· What is gestational diabetes? And when does an expecting parent get tested? 

· What causes gestational diabetes? Is there any way to prevent it? 

· Does gestational diabetes go away? 

· We know that expecting parents have lots of worries like if GD will hurt their baby or are scared to start insulin. What would you say to parents who are feeling overwhelmed by this diagnosis? 

· How to lower blood sugars without giving up all treats (diet and/or lifestyle modifications) 

· How to still advocate for your birth preferences despite GD
