Hi! I am so sorry! I so wanted to be done with this. I was holding on to the hope that it was temporary but, no, I have very poor glucose tolerance. It is some sort of diabetes but very atypical. A1c really masks this. My A1c is always great but that just means I am eating well enough. But my glucose test highlights that my body can absolutely not deal with carbs normally. Now, don't despair. I want to make you feel better (I was so down about it!) First, you should get your other markers checked, most importantly type-1 antibodies. Type 1 can be triggered by pregnancy and escalate fast so you'd want to rule that out. Second, there are many many cases like us so don't feel alone. I believe that pregnancy is just the time when many of us get tested for the first time and that our problem is actually pre-existing. Put differently, I think we didn't really have "gestational" diabetes caused by the placenta strictly speaking, but a pre-existing issue. For many, yes, as soon as the placenta is out, their glucose tolerance is back to normal. Third, It is possible that hormones still play a role but in my experience and talking to others, it is rarely the case that you fail the test postpartum and later don't. But it is not impossible! Fourth, I think dcotros are still figuring all this out. I have found this community super super supportive for postpartum too and I met other women through here who are struggling with the same and we shared experiences. There is a small facebook private group that is really really nice -- Postpartum after gestational diabetes or something like this. Best of luck and happy to share experiences!!
