Hi, I'm new to the forum. I'm at risk of Type 2 diabetes and I'm also a researcher interested in the psychological needs of people with Type 1 diabetes who have given birth. Hope to learn more about all types of diabetes on the forum 🙂

Hi Maria! So I'm at risk of T2D due to an extensive family history of it and my doctor told me my HbA1c of 41 was heading towards pre-diabetes. This was a while ago now and have made some lifestyle changes which have helped but continue to be concerned due to my family background. It's also a lot of information to take in!

Welcome to the forum!
Hope your changes are making a positive impact on your glucose levels. It sounds like you may want to keep an eye on your carbohydrate intake (not just ‘sugars’) as it sounds like your genetic make-up may not cope too well with the standard western menu?
