[QUOTE="flo_oni, post: 2348630, member: 535334"] [USER=511345]@VashtiB[/USER] Those keto snacks really sound good. I should really get to looking for those things. Thanks! [USER=503044]@aard[/USER] It was very hard in the beginning to limit my intake to this point, but I was too scared of my T2 and felt the great need to modify my diet. More info on my profile is I’m 5’4” and 38 years old. I do feel awful that I got T2 so young. We have a family history of diabetes, and when I got pregnant in 2017, I got tested early on for GDM and I had it. I got started on a controlled diabetic diet early on in my pregnancy, but was also on complete bed rest for threatened miscarriage. The bed rest and hormones didn’t help manage my blood sugar levels, so by my 7th month, I had to go on insulin. On my 36th week, I was scheduled for induced labor because despite the insulin, my sugar was still all over the place. After giving birth (which eventually happened after 16 hours of labor and an eventual emergency C-section), my numbers actually normalized, but I wasn’t able to really monitor in the intervening years until my diagnosis early this year. Anyway, lesson here is: genetics and lifestyle really do play a bug role. I regret not having myself monitored after I gave birth. The doctors already told me I was high risk of actually getting T2. But here we are and although struggling, I am making an effort. And so very happy to have found you guys. ❤️ [/QUOTE]
