I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic, and diabetes runs in my family. In conjunction with a new exercise routine, I’ve started a pretty strict diet plan with a nutritionist which cuts out most carbs and lowers my fat intake. I’m looking for recipes with low carbs and fat to spruce up my diet plan. I realize that if I can’t enjoy it, I won’t stick with it. Thanks!

I am almost 33 weeks pregnant and found out a couple of weeks ago that I have gestational diabetes. The first test I took, my level was 170 where it should’ve been 140 or lower. I then did the three hour test and was told that 2 out of the 3 tests were abnormal, so I was then diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

They gave me a diet plan and as long as I follow that pretty well I can keep my numbers right on track. They told me that usually after the baby is born, the blood sugar will go back to normal.

My question is, how do I know that I didn’t have diabetes even before I got pregnant? My mom had gestational diabetes while pregnant with me, her dad had diabetes, my dad and his mom had diabetes, so it runs on both sides of the family. I am a hypochondriac, but even before I was pregnant I ate a lot and slept a lot, and also felt some tingling in my hands and feet. My life has never been easy and I’ve dealt with depression and A LOT of stress these past couple of years, so I’m wondering if my poor eating habits and lethargy were due to just life stresses or diabetes?

I never checked my blood sugar levels before I was pregnant, except occasionally when I saw my family members checking theirs. I was never tested for it before or anything. My doctor told me I’m probably okay because if I had been diabetic prepregnancy, sugar would’ve shown up in my urine and that has never happened. I have had hypoglycemia twice since I’ve been pregnant, where I felt shaky and needed to sit down and eat. I did not have that before I was pregnant ever.

So… does it sound like I’m okay and my levels will return to normal after I give birth? Or do you think I’ve always been a diabetic? I’m so confused and my doctor doesn’t really give me answers.
They didn’t tell me my levels for the three hour one. Only that 2 of 3 were abnormal.
Well I called them and found out.
Fasting 91 Normal <95
1 hour 214 Normal <180
2 hour 179 Normal <155
3 hour 144 Normal <140
