Gestational Diabetes
Has anyone recently been diagnosed with gestational diabetes? I had the dreaded call yesterday and feeling super overwhelmed with it. How have you found broomfield have been with the extra appointments and care? Do you find them to be supportive?

Hey, I’m pregnant with my second one and my second GDM diagnosis. This time I was diagnosed at 20 weeks so been doing all that since then (I’m 35 weeks now). I’m not with Broomfield but if you need any support or food advice I can give you some help, although I’m not a a dietitian 😁 just through experience.
If you possibly can, see if you can get an appointment with Marj. She’s a diabetes midwife and is absolutely wonderful. 41 year’s a midwife and it shows!

I’m was diagnosed super later by Broomfield at 38 weeks so I didn’t have much time for appointments for support but I completely get the feeling overwhelmed! Once you get the hang of what works for you then it’s so easy to maintain! So much of it is just making sure you have enough fats and protein with every meal
