g'day ladies,
I'm a newbie here with supposedly "undiagnosable" GD lol (just to be complicated). I failed my GCT screening, then did the GTT, but vomited after 1 1/2 hours (oh those lucky folks in the waiting room!
) - so they only got my baseline & 1 hour bloods. My obs referred me to an endo, cos my 1 hr blood result was high, my dad has type II diabetes & I've not been feeling great. I also have a thing called fructose malabsorption (FM), so I'm on a pretty restricted diet already (no wheat, onion, some vegs, most fruit). So endo's opinion was no point re-testing (i'll just barf again - he thinks the FM didn't help there), so just treat me as if I have GD and see how we go.
I'm off to see the diabetes educator on Fri and then checking BSL's etc starts I guess. I got through my mopey/weepy/"it's not fair" bit last week... dunno what i'm gonna eat if I'm out & about but guess I'll work that out (the onion/wheat cuts out a fair amount of easily avail food already! arrrgh!)
Love to hear any wise tips that you all have & get to know you all. Sure i'll have heaps more questions as we go along...
