Amanda is a highly regarded diabetes educator specialising in diabetes in pregnancy and a long time friend of our practice. She is the current sitting Vice President of the Australian Diabetes Educator Association. Amanda is also a trained midwife and so understands the pressures of pregnancy and how your diabetes test fits in with the bigger picture. Should you be diagnosed with gestational diabetes, we will arrange for you to sit down with Amanda so together you can formulate a plan to closely monitor your blood sugar levels. She will also educate and help you introduce some lifestyle and diet changes to give you the best chance of avoiding the need to start insulin.
