Hi there Marydean,

Yes I am 34 and I saw a dietician when TTC to lower my Weight and also as I found out by blood test I had high insulin levels went to the dietican to be put on a strict low GI diet.

I am happy to tell you that following this diet before my pregnancy I weighed 117kgs and lost 10kgs with the diet and also taking Metformin for 4 months then during my pregnancy that was very recent, I managed to avoid GD and also only put on 2-3kgs throughout my whole pregnancy. At the start of my pregnancy I weighed 107kgs and the end I weighed 110kgs. 2 weeks later I now weigh 100kgs. You can definately do it! I did it and my OB and family are so proud of me.

I live in Sydney not ACT, I followed the New Glucose Revolution book index of foods to work out what GI everything was and also controlled my portion amounts. Happy to tell you more if you like your welcome to email me on bellharrison@hotmail.com
