[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2380619, member: 41816"] In order to test for diabetes using a glucose tolerance test, 75g of glucose, no fat, fibre or protein, is drunk rapidly, and the blood glucose readings are taken at 2 hours. A low carber should be instructed to eat carbs every day for several days before the test to get their pancreas used to regular insulin demands, so that it can react to the sudden influx of sugar. So, were you low carbing in the days before eating this? Or were you carbing up? Unless you carbed up, it isn’t a fair test, and you shouldn’t draw conclusions from the results. in addition, the fats in the pastry will have dramatically altered the speed the glucose reached your bloodstream, so that invalidates the results as a diagnostic tool. I would urge you not to eat junk food, and to stick with low carbing, and enjoy your life. If you are going to develop T2 following your gestational diabetes, then you can delay it with low carbing, and then control it with low carbing. So in my opinion it makes sense for you to low carb as an ongoing lifestyle. [/QUOTE]
