[QUOTE="padulica, post: 2010269, member: 9579"] Hi, My 3 rd baby weighed 9lbs 4oz ...i wasn't diabetes in that pregnancy. I had GD with my 4th pregnancy which was a twin pregnancy. I was controlled with diet as it was 25 years ago and metformin was not used at that time. Apparently I was prediabetic 4 years ago but only because they changed the goal post the year after mine were done although nobody bothered to tell me !! I do my blood sugars myself regularly and use this site but for what ever reason forgot to go to GP for a hba1c over the last 3 years. I noticed my fasting blood was creeping up so started on blood sugar 8 week diet . my Hba1c is now 41 which is no longer pre diabetic. I think that if I had not exercised regularly and not watched my diet I would have been type 2 by now. Also all ladies who have had GD should be having a yearly HbA1C , GP'S do not appear to be aware of this so its up to you to make sure its done ....only saying that because my GP never ever arranged it for me I had to go in and ask .
