About the author

Lily Nichols is a registered dietitian, certified diabetes educator, and prenatal nutrition specialist known for her evidence-based approach to gestational diabetes. She has worked extensively with GDM mums in clinical settings, shaping her practical, real-life strategies throughout the book.

Lily’s work is grounded in the latest research, but delivered with compassion and clarity - helping women feel empowered, informed, and supported throughout pregnancy and beyond.

What you'll learn

This book teaches you how to personalise your carbohydrate intake to what your body can handle, rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. You’ll learn which foods support stable glucose, which ones are more likely to spike you, how to build satisfying meals, and how movement can improve your numbers.

Lily also covers insulin and blood-sugar-lowering medications, nutrient priorities for baby’s development, the truth about ketosis in pregnancy, and what to do postpartum to reduce your long-term risk of type 2 diabetes.

Why this book matters

Many women are handed confusing, restrictive, or outdated dietary guidelines that leave them hungry, frustrated, and still watching their blood sugars climb. Lily challenges the conventional approach by showing why typical GDM advice often fails - and what actually works instead. Her method is grounded in current clinical research and real-world experience, helping you avoid erratic blood sugars, unnecessary medication, and overwhelm.
