i had gestational diabetes with both of my boys. was on tons of insulin and metformin at that time. each time after i had the kid my numbers were back down to normal no matter what i ate. i was diagnosed as a type 2 exactly 11 years to the day of my youngest being born.
my doctor told me that most women who are gestational diabetic end up being pre-diabetic or type 2 within 15 years or less. weather true or not i dont know. maybe he was just trying to make me feel better he is very kind..lol
