EP 120 \ My Thoughts on Gestational Diabetes

Today i'm thinking out loud with you as I talk about my thoughts regarding gestational diabetes.  Is it really "gestational diabetes" or is it underlying, undiagnosed, metabolic dysfunction? 

Here's some of what you will learn today:

• What is metabolic dysfunction
• How is gestational diabetes, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes diagnosed
• What are the shortcomings of the way we diagnose and treat gestational diabetes in our maternity system
• What do I think is really going on
