Healthy Futures After GDM Australia Podcast
If you've experienced gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), you're not alone—and your journey to optimal health doesn't end after delivery. Welcome to Healthy Futures After GDM, the podcast dedicated to helping women who've had GDM reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes while protecting their children's future health.
Hosted by Jaimee, a Nurse Practitioner (in progress) Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE), and former Accredited Exercise Physiologist who has lived with type 1 diabetes for 30 years, this podcast combines professional expertise with deeply personal understanding. Having watched her younger sister navigate GDM twice, she brings both clinical knowledge and heartfelt empathy to every conversation.
Each episode explores evidence-based strategies for post-GDM health, with a special focus on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology and how it can help with your approach to nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices. Tash Rae (Dietitian & CDE) joins Jaimee on this journey to support women after GDM. Whether you're newly postpartum or years out from your GDM diagnosis, you'll discover practical tools to take control of your metabolic health and create a healthier future for your entire family.
From decoding your glucose patterns to building sustainable habits that fit your busy life as a mum, Healthy Futures After GDM transforms complex medical information into actionable steps you can implement today. Because when you invest in your health, you're investing in your family's future.
