Did you know that having gestational diabetes puts you at a significantly higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes later in life? In this episode, we dive deep into the science behind this connection and explore why your GDM diagnosis is actually an early warning system your body is giving you.

As a diabetes educator who's witnessed firsthand how GDM affects families—including my own sister who experienced it twice—I'm passionate about helping women understand this risk isn't a life sentence. It's an opportunity to take control of your health future.

You'll discover:

• The biological mechanisms that link GDM to future diabetes risk
• Why some women are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes
• Real hope for preventing or delaying type 2 diabetes onset

This journey doesn't have to feel overwhelming or isolating. Join our supportive community of women navigating life after GDM, where we share evidence-based strategies, celebrate wins, and support each other through the challenges.

Ready to take charge of your healthy future? Join our private Facebook group 'Healthy Futures After Gestational Diabetes for ongoing support, resources, and connection with other women who truly understand your journey.
