Dr Nina Meloncelli is a lived experience researcher and Accredited Practising Dietitian, having had gestational diabetes (called GDM for short) in both of her pregnancies. We discuss the risk factors for GDM and why some women are more at risk than others. We also talk about the nutritional aspects of managing GDM. Dr Nina is also lead of the Metro North Allied Health Translating Research Into Practice program. She believes the ideal health research partnership involves clinicians and consumers, which is why she works with health professionals to build the capability and capacity to solve clinical problems using evidence-informed models of care. When it comes to food, Nina loves to squeeze many different types of whole plant foods into her family’s diet to keep their health humming.
