[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2189898, member: 501623"] Can I tell you something straight? I'm in a similar situation to you. I had gestational diabetes with my 3rd child and he's almost 8 months old now. I still don't know for sure or not if I am prediabetic but after watching this video, I realise that you don't want to wait till your blood sugar is in the diabetic range because that's way late in the game. If you had gestational diabetes, you ARE insulin resistant, and that's already on the way to diabetes. If you've been eating carbs for the last 5 years, you are even closer to diabetes now. In the video, Dr Paul Mason shows the GTT lab results of 3 individuals. The healthy individual had these results: Fasting 5.1 mmol (90) (even lower would be better) / 1h: 5.6 mmol (100) / 2h; 4.4 mmol (80). I also keep reading that a healthy blood sugar range sits between 4 and 6 mmol (72 - 106) at all times. If you are spiking higher than that, you have a problem. Your insulin levels are what's important because they go up long before your blood sugar. If your blood sugar is already spiking, you've gone on too long with the sweets (and carbs in general). Pull back now! Accept your fate. Don't keep going till you get full blown diabetes. The sweets and softdrink are not worth it. At least I don't think they are. You can make lower carb sweets to get yourself off them and eventually try to find something else to do. I know it's hard. I still have a sweet tooth but stop at one or two squares of 85% dark chocolate, or make my own cocoa, carob powder and coconut oil sweet thing if I am really missing something sweet with my coffee or tea. I'm not over it yet and it's been close to a year.. Chewing gum helps. Anyway, watch this. It helped me wake up. Hopefully it helps you too. [MEDIA=youtube]wBsnk2PtPeo[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
