I had a repaet GTT done in september and that was normal...starving was 5.2 and 2hr was 6.5 (same as before) My starvings of 4.8 to 5.2 is from my own meter. When I first started the low carbing I did feel really quite tired, but now most of the time I feel OK. I don't know about more energy as...

Hi, Much the same as you mine was 6.4 , no family history, but gestational diabetes. I have been low carbing since June , have lost 10lbs and my fasting is now 4.8 to 5.2 :D .I am 50 in jan plus do loads of excercise.

Hi, I am inclined to agree about the mistaken belief that we loose weight with excercise. I walk my dog for 30 minsx 5 days out of 7, play badminton x3 times per week, Gym and swim for 1hr 30 mins x1 a week and aquarobics 45 mins x1 a week...... I also have an active job and family. I only...

Hi, I know some ladies who have had GD in one pregnancy but not in a subsequent pregnancy. I was GD in my last pregnacy, although I had glycosurea in 2 out of 3 of my other pregnancies...I was not GD. Like you I was and am still a petite statue and low BMI. I am now nearly 50 ( 15 years since...

Hi, When ladies are pregnant they do have a lowered renal thresh-hold and it is not unusual for a lady to have sugar in her urine.....even if they are not diabetic. Best bet is discuss it with your specialist midwife.

Hi, I had gestational diabetes controlled by diabetes 14 yrs ago, I am now at the stage that without altering my diet I would be diabetic. In UK you would have a GGT at 6 weeks after your baby was born to make sure things were back to normal and then yearly BG....although a midwife whom is...

Hi, I have a similar problem. I had a GGT done 18 months ago , my starving was 6.4 and my 2 hour was 6.6. I was told it was abnormal but no action was to be taken. I was told the 2hr blood was normal so it out weighed the starving one !!!! I went to the a locum Dr yesterday for something else...

Hi, I used to have that problem, I also play badminton and found that my BG was higher after playing for 2hrs...not as high as yours. I have found that since I have been doing low carb this does not appear to happen.

Re: cinnamon I have tried it again and this time it does work ....don't know why it did not before!!!!

Re: cinnamon Hi, It makes no difference if it is spelt right, nothing appears to come up in past threads. I take it in powder form, but I think it can be bought in capsule form but I have not found them. As I said before I am not sure that it does work, there has been some research on it...

Hi, I am sure that there must be thread, about cinnamen lowering Blood glucose,somewhere but can't find it. Does anyone else use it and do they think it works? I have it on my breakfast cereal and my raspberries...don't know if it does work as I have just started a low carb diet and so my BG has...

I am going out for an indian meal tonight, has anyone any suggestions as to what I can eat that is low carb? suggestions gratefully received Padulica

Hi Lynn, I am in a similar situation to you...My starving BG was 6.1 to 6.4. I had a GTT done but my 2 hr sample after the glucose came back as 6.6...so the Drs say I am not pre diabeteic. I know that it is not right to have a fasting BG of 6.3, so I have started a low carb diet, I don't eat...

I am not actually diagnosed as diabetic..I think I have pre diabetes, I was diabeteic in pregnancy so have a more than definite risk of progressing to type 2. My HbA1c was 5.8 I felt this was high plus the fact my fasting BG had been 6.4..... I excercise x3 times a week, walk the dog every day...
