CAN YOU RELATE TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS?

 

Two pregnant women over the FAQ section for GD Kitchen's GD Basics 101 course
Let's face it....pregnancy isn't a walk in the park, even before the scary, unwelcome surprise of a GD diagnosis. 
When I had GD, identifying help felt like searching blindly in the dark. I scoured the internet for a reliable, all-in-one resource, but came up empty. 
 
I made it my mission to create the resource I needed, but couldn’t find. My goal is to make your experience easier, and more straightforward, than mine was. 
 
Replace panic with knowledge!

HI, I'M CRISTINA! I was a professional recipe developer for more than a decade. (My work appeared in the publications below, among others.) I'm also a mom who had gestational diabetes. Now, I guide women through their GD journeys (and beyond) with recipes, videos, fact sheets, researched-for-you resources, and more.

If you’re like me, the first thing you did post-diagnosis was google, “What do I do if I have gestational diabetes?” 

When I searched, I found plenty of medical websites, explaining what GD is, and the broad strokes of how to treat it. But I found NO resources written from the perspective of someone who’d actually experienced GD themselves.  

I set about creating a resource that combines research and science with the personal tone and experience of someone who’s walked in your shoes. I combined all the information I wish someone had offered me. 

 

"GD KITCHEN DESERVES FIVE STARS!" 

"I highly recommend GD kitchen! Cristina really helped me dealing with my GD during my 2nd pregnancy. She has the power to turn a bumpy road into a brand new highway, with easy and delicious recipes that do not require tons of utensils, templates for food and blood glucose (so helpful for your obgyn visits), tips and tricks all along your journey. Additionally the thing I really enjoyed with GD kitchen is that Cristina was able to quickly and fully understand the issues I was facing as she personally went through GD. Last but not least, Cristina is FUN. GD kitchen deserves 5 stars!"
