Gestational Diabetes Nutrition Support
You’ve been told you have gestational diabetes — and suddenly food feels stressful.
A diagnosis of gestational diabetes can feel confronting and overwhelming. Many women leave appointments unsure what to eat, worried about harming their baby, or feeling like every meal is a test they could fail.
You might be questioning foods you’ve always eaten, feeling anxious about blood glucose numbers, or overwhelmed by conflicting advice online.
You’re not doing anything wrong — and you don’t need to be perfect.
Gestational diabetes is not a personal failure. It reflects the complex hormonal changes of pregnancy, not a lack of willpower or effort. With the right support, it can be managed effectively while still nourishing both you and your baby.
Ellie brings significant experience supporting women with gestational diabetes and understands how to balance blood glucose management with adequate nutrition, flexibility, and peace of mind.
A calm, practical plan — without unnecessary restriction.
Our Dietitians work with you to create a personalised nutrition plan that fits your pregnancy, body, and lifestyle. The focus is on realistic strategies that support stable blood glucose levels while maintaining a positive relationship with food.
Gestational diabetes support may include:
Individualised meal planning aligned with blood glucose targets
Carbohydrate timing, balance, and quality — without over-restriction
Support with label reading, eating out, and social occasions
Strategies for fasting and post-meal blood glucose management
Nutrition support alongside insulin or medication if required
Ongoing adjustments as pregnancy progresses
Why it matters.
