Description:

In today’s episode we are joined by Lily Nichols, registered Dietician and Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Educator, researcher, and author with a passion for evidence-based prenatal nutrition. Lily and I discuss the oral glucose tolerance test and gestational diabetes, a highly requested topic by you. You will learn the challenges with the current “gold standard” for screening gestational diabetes, the impact of a moderate carbohydrate and low glycaemic diet and the high prevalence of “false positive” test results. We explore the current research around blood glucose reference ranges, HbA1c%, home glucose monitoring, continual glucose monitors, Lily’s personal experiences throughout her two pregnancies and so much more.
