[QUOTE="Hedgehog161, post: 1839433, member: 485880"] I was diagnosed with GD during pregnancy, controlled it with insulin and gave birth to a healthy child. I was then told that the diabetes has remained post-childbirth and I'm now Type 2. I'm now being advised to follow a low GI rather than a low carb diet, however I know that a lot of 'healthy' carbs cause me to spike from when I was testing my blood during pregnancy. GP explicitly told me not to low carb, and started going on about heart disease, the dangers of eating fat etc. Do I ignore my GP and low carb? If I don't reduce my blood glucose by our next appointment in 3 months he's said he will put me on medication, I want to avoid this but really don't think I will by following a low GI diet. Blood Glucose was 7.1 mmol/L at my last appointment. Any advice would be appreciated as I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice online. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
