[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2095469, member: 401801"] Your finger prick tests look fine to me, to be honest... Did they have an HbA1c for you? Once you've had gestational diabetes you're likely to develop T2 later on, but if you're looking after your diet (low carb/high fat), I don't really see a need to start metformin already... Especially as the possible side-effects are rather heavy. As long as you don't revert back to a carb-heavy diet, I think you're doing fine as-is. If your bloodglucose starts going up, just cut more carbs. That's what I'd do, anyway... I'm no doctor though... And I'm sure others, who are more knowledgable, will chime in soon enough. But personally... I'd say, go with your gut on this one. [/QUOTE]
