I was diagnosed with GDM during both my pregnancies and became rather obsessive about tracking my blood sugar, avoiding carbs, compulsively exercising etc. Thankfully both my girls were healthy, normal birth weights and my A1C is normal. I worry a lot about my future risk of diabetes and their risk of developing it in the future. I’ve read statistics with wide ranges on this and my doctors seem pretty unconcerned but the wellness space is rife with insulin resistance scares. Is my dear founded? Is there anything that can be done to reduce the risk of this for my daughters and me other than exercise and maintaining a balanced diet?
