I am 6 months post partum with my second child. I was diagnosed with Gestational diabetes early in this pregnancy and by the end of it, I was on two types of insulin and the maximum Metformin per day.
I lost steadily through the pregnancy, mainly because I was careful with my carb and sugar intake, and was down from 310 to 266 pounds after delivery.
In May I took up MFP seriously, and I've lost another 38 pounds. I had the follow up with the endocrinologist this week. My A1C is 4.9! He said, "You do not have diabetes. You do not have prediabetes." And he was shocked I had actually dieted and exercised like he prescribed. He was impressed with the weightloss too.
I feel so motivated and looking forward to losing 50 more pounds!
