[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2526812, member: 365308"] You score high in the at risk category given the family history though being female helps as does being young and I hope not having a high BP at this poiont. GD is a fore warning of your type 2 risk and occurs because any state of rapid growth (pregnancy and adolescence) encourages the body to become insulin resistant to encourage its energy to be used for growth. You know that low carb is healthy and safe but maybe you can lessen the strictness if you find it too restrictive unless you notice any extra waist being acquired or a change in your hdl/trig ratio (HDL is ideally the same as or higher than trig) on blood tests or higher blood pressure. Your excellent hba1c s and finger prick tests will be last place for the diabetes to show itself and your brothers likely had the other symptoms I mentioned long before t2 but like many people may have discounted it has middle aged stuff. Are your brothers aware of how you are managing your risk so sucessfully? [/QUOTE]
