- Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
I have a friend who had a fasting blood glucose of 8.0 during her pregnancy, however she was not told she had gestational diabetes. The baby was born at full term with a normal weight and no known health issues.
15 years later, her son from that pregnancy developed T1 diabetes.
There is also a strong family history of T1 and T2 diabetes.
From what I can tell, a FBG of 8.0 would indicate diabetes... is that the case for gestational diabetes?
