“Ginger was absolutely one of the most available and responsive professionals I dealt with throughout my entire pregnancy. Managing something like GDM which was highly important, yet very new to me, I had a lot of anxiety around it. She was always there with an encouraging, calm, and positive reception to all of my questions and concerns. I left every meeting of ours feeling a hundred times less anxious than I entered it. Have no fear; you’re in good hands with her.
Mama, California
“Working with Ginger during my pregnancy helped me manage my blood sugars and build habits that help me lose weight postpartum. I am now thinner and healthier than when I got pregnant!”
Mama, Santa Barbara
“Getting my blood sugars under control with Ginger’s help totally changed my pregnancy. I did not realize how much my symptoms were the result of my diet and blood sugars. I felt so much better once we set up a plan”

Frequently Asked Gestational Diabetes questions
Gestational diabetes meal plans don’t have to be complicated. Many of my clients find that using the plate method to check that they eat more protein or healthy fat than carbohydrates can help control their blood sugars.
Make sure you pick high-fiber carbohydrate choices with a minimum of 3 grams of fiber.
Get detailed guidance on the gestational diabetes meal plan on my Gestational Diabetes Master Course or by booking 1:1 individual coaching with me. I focus on an integrative food-first approach to managing gestational diabetes easily and without stress.
Thankfully as long as blood sugars are kept in control, your risk for complications is the same as if you didn’t have gestational diabetes.
Poorly managed gestational diabetes increase risk of the following increased risk of developing diabetes in both you and the baby, hypoglycemia at delivery for baby, the risk for obesity, shoulder and nerve damage during birth because they are too big to fit through your birth canal, large for gestational age, and Cesarean section.
AGAIN, with the right coaching and help, these risks reduce significantly.
Fasting blood sugar after an 8-10 hour fast should be under 95 mg/dL. One hour after you start eating a meal, your blood sugars should be <140 mg/dL. If you miss your one-hour check, you can check at two hours; this should be <120 mg/dL.
Fasting (first thing in the morning), blood sugars should be 65-94 mg/dL. A fasting number under 70 mg/dL is considered too low throughout the day.
To treat a low, eat 15g of an easily digestible carbohydrate like ½ cup juice, 3 small pieces of candy, 1 slice white bread, or ½ banana and wait 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, your blood sugars should have risen.
Gestational Diabetes is managed with diet and lifestyle modifications. If blood sugars remain uncontrolled, a doctor may want to start insulin or to help control blood sugars or Metformin. Check out my integrative nutrition and lifestyle approach to managing gestational diabetes on my Gestational Diabetes Master Course or book 1:1 coaching with me.
Through diet modifications and lifestyle, you may gain control of your blood sugars and avoid taking insulin. Book a visit with me or take my Gestational Diabetes Master Course to learn how!
Gestational diabetes is diabetes that usually develops around the third trimester of pregnancy when hormones start peaking. Gestational diabetes is prevalent in women of all shapes and sizes. Estimates range from 6-20% of pregnancies are affected by gestational diabetes.
GESTATIONAL DIABETES IS NOT YOUR FAULT. Gestational diabetes means your body cannot adjust to the extra insulin resistance created by the hormones in the pregnancy. Too much insulin resistance causes your blood sugars to be high, and diet and lifestyle adjustments may help.
Gestational diabetes does not mean you will have l diabetes forever. Once you deliver your baby, you will deliver the placenta, which is causing the problem, and your diabetes should resolve. You will be asked to have your blood sugars checked postpartum to confirm.
