Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone here is diabetic. Lately I've been quite afraid of getting diabetes. My father has type II and my doctor has warned me that I'm at high risk. I also tested positive for the first gestational diabetes test, but I passed the second one and did not develop the disorder during my pregnancy.
I'm trying to eat fewer carbs, though I'm not counting right now. I'm also upping the exercise which I know dramatically reduces my risk of getting the disorder. Weight loss will also help.
Even though I know I'm taking positive action to reduce my risk, I still find it scary as hell.
I suppose I'm just looking to see if anyone is living with it or is also prediabetic.
