Hi I'm Allison,

I'm 24, so recently my doctor sent me for bloods for diabetes as I had it in pregnancy, anyways these came back high and they called me in, where they referred me to a specialist to which she told them they need to get me started on tablets ASAP. Anyways so they have started me on these and told me to test my blood throughout the day. And booked me into some sort of clinic. I'm feeling totally lost as to what I should be eating, I just want to cry all the time as I my bloods are still ranging from 8-10 in the morning. Fasting!!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Forgot to add, they are testing to see if I'm type 1 as they aren't convinced I'm type 2.

Hi and welcome. What ever type you are, keeping the carbs down will help. With a bit of luck and the right low-carb diet you can stay on tablets for a good while even if T1.
