Newbie Gestational Diabetes
 

Hi All!

Newly diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 43 in my third trimester with my second child.

Type 2 runs in the family, but I haven't had an issue before now. I am pretty active and run 3-5 times a week (up until this trimester, center of gravity is not allowing running anymore). I went gluten free after my first child 5 years ago, but threw that out the window as soon as I became pregnant this time.

Testing over the last two weeks and can see the clear correlation to anything with bread or pasta spiking my glucose, so have gone gluten free again and am doing pretty good so far.

Welcome to the Forum! :)

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.
