Hi all,
I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes in 2016 after having gestational diabetes with both of my pregnancies in 2010 and 2013.
After a recent surprise pregnancy (little girl born in January) where my blood sugars were tightly controlled with insulin, I have had two Hba1cs come back in the normal range (not sure of exact no) and one last week at 43 which puts me in the pre diabetic range.
I am on 2xmetformin a day, my weight has always been good (8stone 4 and 5 foot 3), but my diet has sometimes not been the best. I have joined this forum to hopefully spur me on to stay in the non diabetic range and make healthier life choices. I know it will be difficult, especially as I think I am pre disposed to diabetes as my mum and grandmother were both type 2.
Anyway, sorry for the essay and look forward to 'meeting' you!
