[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1814240, member: 401801"] Hi! You're not the only one who's confused... Straight to insulin, but initial appointment not till september?! It's like one is treating you as a T1, the other as a T2. Your weight and gestational diabetes imply T2, your age could indicate T1... Or a bunch of other diabetic "brands" in between! For me, a T2, well, I was quite a bit higher when my HbA1c was done, but only put on pills, and could stop those 3 months into low carb eating. And that was moderate low carb, say about 80 grams a day. I'm trying 20 grams or less now, to lose additional weight (44 pounds down in total, and counting), and get rid of my fatty liver disease. And who knows, PCOS in the process. People can come off insulin, so it isn't a point-of-no-return thing, but be careful if you decide you want to try low carb and injecting, because you might hypo. Check this place's low carb program and dietdoctor.com for ideas. And if you have questions, we're here to answer them. (Just keep in mind we're not doctors). And do yourself a favour; stock up on test strips. Should you want to start eating to your meter, you'll need about 7 a day to begin with. Good luck! Jo [/QUOTE]
