Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoKalsbeek" data-source="post: 2164211" data-attributes="member: 401801">Woa, calm down! You're a new mom and you're dealing with a lot right now, so no, you are absolutely NOT a drama queen! Okay? Good. Not saying you should freak out or anything, but the way you're feeling is absolutely normal, anyone would in your position. You've found this place though, and there's masses of help here.Now, as others mentioned GD usually indicates you have a predisposition for T2. The GD didn't cause it, it just showed up because the predisposition was already there.  <a href="https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/" target="_blank">https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/</a> explains about food in relation to your bloodsugars (and yeah, they are a tad high, but nothing too horrible just yet, so... You can actually fix this!), and as you noticed, bread does impact bloodsugars, as do a lot of other things. Spuds, rice, pasta, corn, cereal, porridge, fruit, but yes, also stress and not sleeping well. But if you fix your diet, you fix your bloodsugars. You just need to know what the hurdles are.Keep in mind that if you do go low carb/high fat, and you're breastfeeding, (dunno if you are, but just in case) you might not want to go under 50 grams of carbs a day. You're not keeping all the nutrients to yourself after all, and you and/or the baby might not get quite enough of what's needed, otherwise. You'll be okay. Breathe. Take some time to go over the blogpost, go over your groceries, which still are okay for you and which need replacing, and go from there. You're not a T2 yet, and you might well still avoid it all together. Just takes a bit of a diet change is all. Hugs,Jo</blockquote>
