[QUOTE="Biggles2, post: 1706051, member: 406880"] Not necessarily. I had Gestational Diabetes and went on to develop T2DM 16 years later - as approx. 50% of women with GD eventually do. I had at least 2 normal OGTT's over those 16 years, along with normal fasting blood sugars and normal HbA1c's. However, my underlying metabolic physiology meant that with a similar challenge (to the physiological challenge of pregnancy) my diabetes could return at any time. Which it did because, in my case, it was never reversed (cured?), it was merely in remission. I am now very fortunate to have achieved remission again with a low carb diet. My personal threshold is 30 grams or less per day to achieve the numbers I do (my last HbA1c was 29mmol/ml). I've learned the hard way that this is a chronic disease. I was cavalier once - never again. I have Type 2 diabetes, it's diet controlled. My current status is 'in remission' - which I am thrilled about BTW!:) [/QUOTE]
