Gestational diabetes diagnosis: what no one tells you (from a dietitian who lived it)

This week, Jenny Fernandez, Registered Dietitian and Community Outreach Manager at Diabetes Digital, is joined by Diabetes Digital dietetic intern and registered dietitian Lorena Lee to share Lorena's firsthand experience with gestational diabetes. Together, they discuss the emotional impact of diagnosis, why gestational diabetes happens, practical nutrition strategies that don't require giving up cultural foods, and how compassionate, individualized care can make all the difference.
