Gestational diabetes (a form of high blood sugar during pregnancy) affects up to 14% of pregnant women in the US each year. Left untreated, it can pose serious complications for both mother and baby. Read on for Jamie’s story of managing gestational diabetes through the help of her Axia Women’s Health care team and our partner @simplex_health

“I was caught off guard when I first learned I had gestational diabetes. I felt healthy and was focused on eating well. I didn’t sense that anything was off. Fortunately, my OB/GYN Dr. Cynthia Alessio (Axia`s Women`s Health Associates of Bucks County) caught it early through a screening test at 24 weeks.

Dr. Alessio enrolled me in a nutrition program with Simplex Health where I learned what to eat and how to monitor my sugars. The best part of the program was the ease with which I could contact my nutrition consultant. She was so easy to work with, and made it clear that if I ever needed her, she was only a text or call away. When juggling many different doctor`s appointments, this convenience and flexibility was so helpful.

For other women facing a gestational diabetes diagnosis, I think the best thing you can do is find and stick to a diet regimen early. Pregnancy is temporary, but gestational diabetes could have lifelong effects if you don’t treat it early.”
