I've been following this forum for quite a while now. here's my story, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes with my twins, BMI of 29. given metformin and went on to have a normal healthy delivery.
my concern is that since diagnosis my hba1c went from 5% to 9% in six months, I felt unwell and despite asking the docs to prescribe me some testing strips (which were refused) I got some off eBay and they read 24 mmol at which point I was sent to hospital and put on a sliding scale for 3 days. it was a bank holiday weekend and never got to see a diabetic team as I discharged myself with a blood sugar of 13 I've been on a low carb diet ever since and have lost 3 stone since my diagnosis in April.
I'm a bit worried as I don't want to lose anymore weight, feeling really gaunt and lethargic. I'm pretty much eating to my meter HELP needed???
BMI is now 25
