[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2189972, member: 501623"] Out of curiosity, do you remember what numbers you got on your GTT while eating low carb? I had fasting 4.4 mmol, 1h 12.1 mmol and 2h 6.5 mmol. A few months earlier before diagnosis of gestational diabetes, my GTT results were: Fasting 5.1 mmol; 1h 9.7; 2h 7.4 and that was during pregnancy while I was eating all the usual carbs (plus sweets). But I did become increasingly insulin resistant as the pregnancy went on and used insulin for my fasting levels for the final weeks. I still haven't confirmed whether my spike to 12.1 mmol at 1h was just because of low carb or because I've developed more of a glucose intolerance since having my baby and being sleep deprived. When I try to reintroduce carbs, even after 3 days, I would still see 8 - 11 mmol at 1h and after pizza I was still 8mmol at 2h so I'm assuming eating low carb is doing myself a favour. But I'm 44 so I'm much closer to that point in life where diabetes can creep up fast. [/QUOTE]
