A Conference Unlike Any Other


Diabetes in pregnancy is about much more than titrating insulin.
 
It's a multifaceted condition that demands a collaborative approach.

From Lab to Labor: Advancing Diabetes Care is unique in its focus on the entire health care team, strengthening connections across critical disciplines, and ensuring that we are moving forward, together.

Featuring:

Beyond Carb Counting: Unlocking Optimal Nutrition in Diabetic Pregnancy

For so long, guidance on nutrition in pregnancy has boiled down to: "eat for two". But we now know so much more about the role food can play in healthy pregnancy.

In this one-of-a-kind conference section, moderators Mark Landon, MD, and Patrick Catalano, MD, will be your tour guides through the broadening landscape of nutritional science for diabetic pregnancy. You'll hear from experts on topics such as:

  • New strategies for optimal health through nutrition
  • Saying goodbye to restriction and hello to balance
  • Ultra-processed foods and the risk of GDM
  • Breastfeeding, weaning, and diabetes
