Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with changes to diet from GD to T2?
My baby is a week old and before going into hospital my partner, who is T2, was told meds weren't working enough and threrefore he would need to start the Trulicity injection once a week. He'd also need to test his bloods before driving. He's around 4 years diagnosed and was on 2000 metformin, which he'll now take alongside the trulicity jab.
Lifestyle wise he struggles with T2 and we both struggle with diet. I got through GD with baby in mind and although can relax now want to eat right for my health, to support my partner, and to be healthy for our children. It's been a wake up call and I want to move forward together as a team. Obviously I could develop T2 myself because of the GD too.
Has anyone any tips how to adjust the GD lifestyle to T2? Obviously the GD diet involves more fat and we are both overwhelmed and don't know where to start.
Obviously he needs to be responsible and take care of himself but I think we can achieve this together for our family's sake.
We are both obviously sleep deprived and getting used to a massive lifestyle change with the new baby. I find everything online overwhelming re sensible quick meals we can prepare in our zombie like states!
If anyone can offer any help or reassurance I would be so grateful. I am coming out of baby blues and the thought of something happening to my partner takes my breathe away. He's an amazing man and I want him to feel supported.
