🍊 While We Have a Little Break in Babies Being Born…
We’ve been up to other fun 👏
Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a condition in pregnancy where hormones can affect how your body processes sugar. Screening is important because untreated blood sugar imbalances can impact both mom and baby — and early identification allows us to support healthy outcomes.
So… we’ve been exploring additional screening and monitoring options.
The Fruitful Oaks team has been personally trialing the Stelo (10 days of glucose data) and the Dexcom G7 (15 days of continuous tracking).
We were a little nervous about insertion (you can probably tell from our faces 😅)…
but it was quick, simple, and completely painless.
Once it’s on, you don’t even know it’s there.
✨ The Stelo offers 10 days of real-life glucose trends — giving a broader picture than a single time-point test.
✨ The Dexcom G7 can be especially helpful for clients managing GDM — with continuous tracking and fewer finger pokes.
We believe in trying things ourselves before offering them to our clients.
If you’re interested in using the Stelo for your upcoming glucose screening, reach out to us for more information — we’re happy to talk through your options and see what might be the best fit for your pregnancy 💛
Informed choice. Thoughtful care. Always.
