About SugrMama

A companion built from lived experience and rigorous research.

SugrMama was born from a PhD research project designed to bridge the gap between clinical appointments and everyday life with gestational diabetes.

Understanding GDM

You are not alone on this journey.

A diagnosis of gestational diabetes can feel overwhelming. SugrMama was created to bridge the gap between clinic visits with personalised insights, plain-language education, and gentle support that helps women feel more prepared and more in control.

Instead of leaving women with numbers and uncertainty, SugrMama turns everyday tracking into meaningful understanding — so each reading becomes a chance to learn, reflect, and take the next best step.
