Diabetes and Pregnancy for Birth Professionals Course
While doulas are not medical professionals, and are not allowed to provide medical care or advice, it helps to have a basic knowledge of various medical conditions such as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Our Diabetes and Pregnancy Doula curriculum is developed by experienced and certified advanced doula, student midwife, mother of 3, and type 1 diabetes expert, Karina Robinson. She has created a comprehensive, evidence-based course that is designed to provide doulas with information to guide them in better understanding and supporting clients with diabetes. This class will help you to more effectively support, and prepare your diabetic clients in their birth journey. You will be better equipped to assist them in understanding their options with diabetes and help them to plan for a safe and satisfying birth.
