Hi...have just been diagnosed (yesterday) all the Doctor was concerned about was me going on a diet, and gave me NO information at all about diabetes type2!!!!!...and yes, I'm quite over weight, so obviously thought that was the reason I've ended up where I am today....read the link you've posted, and was shocked to find there's a link between gestational diabetes & developing late onset diabetes....I had gestational D with all 3 of my children, and was told DEFINITELY there was no increased chance of my children being diabetic in later life....but it increased my chances!!!!...my children are 26, 23 & 10 yrs old....it's a worry...Just found this post, so glad to see it being discussed because the media is full of blame.
Shortly after diagnosis, when i was feeling really down about it, I found Blood Sugar 101 which helped me understand diabetes and I found a page on the front page there called "You Did NOT Eat Your Way to Diabetes. The REAL Causes." stopped me feeling so bad about it.
I hope links are allowed, if not and the link below is deactivated, message me and I will send you the link. This isn't a commercial link, all the info is free.

Wow!..that's fantastic....it's quite tricky getting used to not having so many carbs?....I'm going to have to look into it a bit more, and look at my food choices if I'm going to change my eating habits long term....well done us!!..lol...Good luck. I'm newly diagnosed with T2 and I'm low carbing too. I've lost 15lbs in 2 weeks!
