[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2156175, member: 365308"] Sadly a proportion of mums with GD will go on to have t2. Your doctor is checking to see if there is an insulin deficiency rather than the more common insulin resistance. This might determine which treatment you are offered. It is upsetting when you've gone through a difficult pregnancy and the stresses of new motherhood only to have a new thing to be concerned about. I can't preach because my type 1 sugars were bad after each of my 3 pregnancies when I was in newborn survival mode. However once you do work out what you can do about your diet (or meds if it turns out its Mody) you may well feel a lot better with lower sugar levels. It is easy to say but being stressed and not sleeping well will likely be pushing levels up too as will illnesses and hormonal fluctuations! The HBA1c is just a mean average of your last 3 months and the good news is that there are loads of success stories on here of people drastically improving their levels. [/QUOTE]
