Gestational diabetes: the pregnancy perspective

In this episode, we discuss all things gestational diabetes. This
is a two-part episode as there was just so much we had to talk
about. We start with gestational diabetes in pregnancy and next
time we will be looking at it from the mother and baby
perspective. 

Listen in as Rachel gives us the most wonderful analogy about
insulin and glucose wrapped up in the form of Pac-Man, and Rachel
dissects some of the research to give us a greater understanding
of testing for diabetes in pregnancy and what this all really
means but when a mother is diagnosed with gestational diabetes.


This is a cracker of an episode and we'll be back with the 2nd
part very soon! Get your lugholes ready coz here we go!
