Registered dietitian and certified diabetes care specialist Elise Marrs talks about gestational diabetes—what it is, why it happens, and how to manage it during pregnancy. Elise breaks down who’s most at risk, how blood sugar affects the baby, and why personalized nutrition and exercise plans can make a huge difference. She also talks about how quickly blood sugar levels typically return to normal after delivery, how to reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes later, and how tools like continuous glucose monitors can help along the way. If you or someone you know is navigating pregnancy and gestational diabetes, this episode is packed with helpful, real-world advice.
