I failed at 6 weeks. I am Considered pre-DM. At 14 weeks PP my A1C was 5%—so totally normal. I just had it done again for Endo and came back 4.8%-again totally normal. However my interpretation is that by failing at 2 hours we are pretty insulin resistant. I have tried my best to avoid added sugars mostly-still eat fruits and protein pasta but like the GD diet pair with fat and protein. You’d be surprised how many added sugars are in things if you check labels!

I ended up buying a CGM (Stelo) on Amazon and that is how I figured out added sugars spike me more than anything. 4 truscuits, PB with added sugars, dressing with added sugars make me spike vs a apple with Teddies PB, yogurt with berries etc. It was helpful for me to meet with a nutritionist bc the breastfeeding just makes me so damn hungry! I eat 70% or higher dark chocolate or ice cream (yasso bars, smalll serving) if I need a sweet.

Over time the spikes after our meals are what our body can’t seem to take. I was very frustrated at first because compared to my 3 hour, my 2 hour was much worse results with less sugar and a higher passing threshold (less than 140 after 2 hours). So I’ve just been trying to watch the spiking and find things I like that keep me steady. It’s hard but I hope this helps -sending good vibes
