Ep 100// 6 Tips Preventing Diabetes Before It Starts: What Every Woman Needs to Know About Pre-Diabetes and Gestational Diabetes

Hey mama!

In this milestone episode, I am  diving into an important and often overlooked topic—pre-diabetes and gestational diabetes. As we shift focus in the podcast, today’s episode highlights the importance of managing blood sugar and preventing diabetes before it starts. If you’re a busy mom, you may not realize how close you could be to developing type 2 diabetes, or you may not know the risks that come with gestational diabetes during pregnancy.

In this episode, I cover:

- The staggering statistics around pre-diabetes—how 96 million Americans are affected, and 80% don’t even know it

- The growing risk of gestational diabetes during pregnancy and how it increases the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes later in life

- Why pre-diabetes is reversible and the small lifestyle changes that can make a big difference

- Factors beyond weight that increase your risk, including family history, age, and sleep habits

- The long-term health risks of uncontrolled blood sugar and how early prevention can save you from complications like heart disease and nerve damage

- Empowering tips to help you assess your own risk and start taking action to protect your health today

- Additional information on how it is impacting our children’s lives, too

 

Whether you’re already managing pre-diabetes or simply want to reduce your risk, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you prevent diabetes and create a healthier life for yourself and your family.
