Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a condition where there is too much glucose (sugar) in your blood. It is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and usually goes away after your baby is born.
Our Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics Department run an education class for women newly diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. In this class they talk about diet, exercise and how to manage GDM over the course of a pregnancy.
We also have a quick tutorial on how to use your glucometer.
