[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2005380, member: 501623"] Thanks Leigh. I just thought of something else I wanted to ask you. When you had GD, did you manage to control it with diet at all? I read that some women manage to control their day time eating levels just fine but they still have high fasting levels first thing in the morning, which I think is what I am experiencing. I would have higher day time levels too if I continued to eat what I was eating before the diagnosis, but I've reduced my meal portion sizes and try to have only a small amount of "healthy" carbs with each meal. I'm trying not to touch obvious naughty foods, and even the ones that seem like they might be okay - VitaBrits with no added sugar - turned out to give me a spike of 9.0 one hour and 8.0 two hours after eating them, so I'm just eating more vegetable carbs or homemade sourdough rye bread (which my husband makes) and that seems to be okay. I'll find out this week if they want me to take insulin or anything for my morning levels but I'm curious to know, if you seem to have pre-diabetes coming on 2 years after GD, were you able to control your GD day time levels without insulin?
