Diabetes Question

Question about Gestational Diabetes. *just found out I had it*?

* It’s A Boy! * asked:

Just curious if anyone knew what the odds were that I’m going to have a larger baby…

And my doctor said that now they need to keep an eye on how big the baby is getting, I know that if you are going through natural delivery that they will more than likely opt to deliver early… but I am already having a scheduled c-section due to severe back problems.. so will they deliver early for me as well???

Any good low carb,low calorie, low fat, recipes?

musiclover asked:

I’m on a diet and a diabetic, looking for some new recipes to try out – low sugar, low carb, etc.  However, I want something that tastes good, with not too many vegtables in them.  Can anyone suggest anything – appitizers, main dishes, side dishes, desserts?

Diabetic Weight Loss?

ncbound asked:

I have been a diabetic for 33 years now. I am very healthy and with no problems yet! My a1c is 6.1 and steady! Since I turned 40 my weight has become an issue. I exercise 4 times a week. My diet is great.  My doctor states that this is a side effect from taking insulin for 30+ years. I refuse to hear this. Are there any diabetics out there, 40+ who have any weight loss success stories that will help me? Your help is GREATLY appreciated!
