The Healthiest Start: Client Yvette Thrives on Program Addressing her Gestational Diabetes

When gestational diabetes became an issue again with her recent pregnancy, she asked for more support from her care team. Her care provider suggested Healthy Starts, the new gestational diabetes program at God’s Love We Deliver. As a social worker, Yvette was familiar with the program. “My own clients were always saying how generous the deliveries were,” she said. “When I would go to their house on a visit, they would show me their refrigerator, and it was full of healthy food.”

As soon as she enrolled in the program, God’s Love began delivering healthy, delicious, medically tailored meals for Yvette and her family.

“The dietitians were always available for me on the phone,” says Yvette. “They [dietitians] customized my meals for my health.”

“The meals lessened my diabetes almost immediately upon starting the program. My numbers used to skyrocket, but once I started having your meals regularly, I no longer had high sugar levels. It only took two or three weeks on the program for my blood sugar to stabilize.”

Yvette believes that medically tailored meals from God’s Love played an important role in the joyful arrival of her healthy baby boy. She’s especially grateful for the extra two months of meals she received after giving birth. “The program gave me peace of mind. Thank you.”
