[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2111553, member: 401801"] The doc says it's odd you have it, after having gestational diabetes 3 times? That's kind of a sign on the wall right there. Ah well. I was in my 30's when diagnosed, and with the history you have, it's probably T2, though checking to make certain's always a good thing. In any case, salads are a good move, but fruit, not so much... Fructose is sugar too, and [I]will[/I] spike blood glucose. Berries are alright, especially if taken in with something fatty like full fat greek yoghurt or clotted cream or something. But other than that, steer clear. As you're just barely crossed into the diabetic zone you should be able to get your bloodsugars under control pretty quick, methinks... In other words, you'll be fine. A T2 from here on in, but considering you're willing to change your diet, you're well on your way to becoming a well controlled one.

Loads of free info on those, and you'll hit the ground running. ;) You can do this...! Jo [/QUOTE]
