[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2010517, member: 501623"] Ultimately I will follow what my health care providers suggest, it's just that my private OB was more blasé about me just controlling it with diet because my morning fast readings in the first week post diagnosis were not often over the mark. This week they are slightly higher, but my post meals and much lower because I have worked out what to eat so as not to get big spikes. But I'm not eating a whole lot of carbs to keep the levels like that. I think some would have been put on Metformin already and that's why the diabetes counsellor at the hospital seemed surprised that I am still allowed to control it with diet if my fasting levels are still slightly elevated. Anyway, I have another appointment next week, and I'll be 32 weeks then. My OB may review things. The cut offs are fairly strict in Australia now with fasting needing to be below 5.1 mmol / L and 2 hour post meals staying under 6.7. But I guess there is a reason for it. How did you find the different between using insulin vs Metformin? Did you have any side effects? Were your fasting levels a problem or was it after meal levels as well? [/QUOTE]
