Treatment of gestational diabetes
Kelly was diagnosed with gestational diabetes “until my third trimester,” she said people in September 2022, “so it wasn't like I developed it because some people get it early on when they're pregnant. I had it in my third trimester and basically thought it was something that he had done wrong.”
Her only pregnancy craving had been sugar, especially sugary drinks, Kelly explained, and although she tried to temper it by drinking freshly squeezed juice, “I still had way more sugar than I needed.”
Once she made intentional changes to her diet, she continued, suffered from sugar withdrawal headaches for a while, but eventually lost 10 pounds, stopped wearing compression socks, and her skin it cleared up.
“I wish I had that kind of incentive before because I've never been able to commit to anything one hundred percent the way I have because I don't do it for myself,” Kelly said. “I'm doing it for my baby. But I've learned, I can't even begin to tell you the changes that have been made.”
