    Better write something so i dont miss any posts
    Im on insulin now, 6 units at night. I think my Dr will increase it again as my fasting level is sitting just on 5.5 most mornings. My levels during the day are excellent, havent gone over yet

    Hi girls

    I'm having my GTT test on Thursday as the first test came back with levels of 7.9 - only 0.1 above their cut off but still enough for me to progress to the next level of testing.

    Fingers crossed my results come back ok with this one.

    Hi Ladies

    Do you mind if I join??

    Will give you a bit of a background on me. I failed the GT test by only .2 (my hossy likes levels to be at 7.7 and I was 7.9) then after the GTT test I came back at 9.1.
    So here I am! I met with the Diabetes educator yesterday and found out the info and spoke to the dietican.

    So far I'll be honest I'm really confused......When working out my diet with the lady I pretty much have to DOUBLE the amount of carbs Im eating (which totally confused me because arent you supposed to be just watching your portion sizes and cutting back on carbs??) and all of my levels have been either 3.5 or 3.8 even after meals...

    So yeah I'm waiting to see my midwife at my next appt and will hopefully get some more info from her. But for the moment I'm still going with it and doing what I'm told, being a good lil girl! lol

    I'd Love to hear all your stories and whats been happening in your experiences with it so far.
