Ready Steady Learn w/ Jasmine Plows: June 6, 2017

Jasmine's research involves attempting to break the cycle of gestational diabetes in pregnant women and their unborn children. Possibly linked to the pancreas, gestational diabetes involves high blood sugar in the mother effectively resulting in a pre-birth high sugar diet for their child. A child who is then more likely to not only develop type 2 diabetes in later life, but also develop gestational diabetes themselves - passing it on to the next generation.
