Hi, I’m Julija, the mom behind HIgedi. It's a pleasure to meet you.
HIgedi was born from my own experience with gestational diabetes during pregnancy. I was overwhelmed, frustrated, and constantly Googling what I could eat. Most of what I found was clinical or confusing—and I felt completely alone. I’m not a doctor or dietitian—I have no medical qualifications. I’m just a mom with lived experience, trying to make things a little easier for the next woman who finds herself where I was.
HIgedi is built around food, because meals and snacks are at the heart of managing gestational diabetes. But it’s also about community—a place where women can share real-life tips, recipes, and reassurance without judgment or shame. Today, I’m building this platform while raising a very energetic (and peanut butter-obsessed) 3-year-old. I truly believe that with the right support, no one has to face gestational diabetes alone.
Thanks for being here.
