[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2451789, member: 401801"] Hi [USER=549828]@amylouiserow21[/USER] , Oh, that's a bit of a knee-jerk reaction your doc has there...! For one thing, there are many more drugs to try before one ends up on insulin, if one does want to go the medicinal route... And you're just barely over the diagnostic threshold (which is 48). If you change your diet you'd be back into the normal range in no time at all. I get that GD has to be treated with insulin for you and your baby's safety, but you've likely developed T2 since... And there's no need to wield a needle just yet! EllieM mentioned The Nutritional Thingy... You go over it, do a dietary overhaul, and by your next review you won't actually NEED any medication, most likely...! You can blow them out of the water, just like that. You're going to be fine. No insulin in your immediate future. Hugs, Jo [/QUOTE]
