Did you go to your diabetes education appointment and nod along to everything they said, only to get home, face the practicalities of testing your blood sugar four times per day and thinking about every bite of food, and just think OHMYGOD what am I meant to be doing?!
I'm personally ALWAYS the person that has zero questions on the spot, but thinks of a million later.
If you're the same, you'll want to listen to this episode.
I chatted with the amazing Brenda, who is a diabetes educator with SO much to share on all things gestational diabetes, type 2 diabetes, blood sugar, testing, insulin, lifestyle etc etc.
She's also a mum, and her lived experience of trying to juggle a million things at once is honestly so refreshing. She has a perspective on things that I think you'll find very relatable.
I hit her with loads of questions, including those things you might feel silly asking, so that you can get a better handle on how to balance your blood sugar, without the stress and overwhelm.
I totally forgot to shout Brenda out in this episode (extremely grumpy at myself), but she offers both telehealth and in-person appts through Preston Medical Specialists in Preston and Osteologic Healthcare in Diamond Creek. Details below to get in touch :)
Enjoy!
