She sees clients 1:1 virtually who have Type 1 Diabetes and are planning for pregnancy, are currently pregnant, and who have recently had a baby. Lemma currently lives in Harrisonburg, Virginia with her husband and two-year-old daughter.    Leslee Flannery is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Lactation Counselor from Dayton, Ohio. She has spent the last 6 years working with the pre and postnatal population. Leslee herself has two young boys and understands first-hand how overwhelming this new phase of life can be for women.  She thought she had found her dream job working in a Maternal Fetal Medicine office but soon realized there was an abundance of nutrition misinformation and a lack of continued support with gestational diabetes so she started her own private practice. In her private practice, Leslee teaches her clients that all foods can fit while controlling blood sugars in pregnancy!  Guest Resources: Connect with Lemma on Instagram: @t1diabetes.nutritionist Connect with Leslee on Instagram: @gestational.diabetes.nutrition Free Resources from Libby: Are you ready to start your journey?
