[QUOTE="mariavontrapp, post: 2006386, member: 188149"] I had gestational diabetes in my second pregnancy which I controlled by diet and testing. After the birth my bg went back to normal, although I think I have always suffered from reactive hypoglycaemia. 16 years later I was diagnosed with Type 2. I deeply regret that I did not monitor my glucose levels during the intervening period, as I may have been able to lessen my build up of insulin resistance. And I don't understand why the doctors don't keep an eye on those who have had GD. If the Internet had been invented 20 years earlier, my life would be very different! My advice to you would be to keep an eye on your glucose levels (use a meter to test fasting levels every now and again) and keep in touch with this forum for information if you have any concerns. All the best with your pregnancy. [/QUOTE]
