🧪 GDM diagnosis just changed. Here’s what it means for you.
New national guidelines mean fewer women will be diagnosed with gestational diabetes — even if blood sugars are slightly elevated.
For some, this will mean less stress.
But for others, it could mean fewer referrals, fewer answers, and more uncertainty.
If you’re pregnant (or planning to be), here’s what to know:
✔️ The glucose thresholds for GDM are now higher
✔️ Early blood tests (like HbA1c) are now recommended for some risk groups
✔️ You might not get a diagnosis — but you still deserve personalised support
At Powered By Nutrition, we help you feel confident and supported in your pregnancy — with or without a diagnosis.
