Today I go to get my A1c levels checked after a full year! As someone with insulin resistance, a history of gestational diabetes, and have had an a1c in the pre-diabetic range in the past, I get so nervous when it's time to do bloodwork during my annual checkups! I am currently still breastfeeding once a day, and there is research that indicates a correlation between breastfeeding and reduced risk for type 2 diabetes so fingers crossed! Watch this video to see where my a1c lands!
A little bit about my blood sugar journey... I was told I was insulin resistant in 2017 after a glucose tolerance test my reproductive endocrinologist ordered for me when I was having trouble getting pregnant. And after conceiving, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes very early on. Since then, I've been diligently learning about blood sugar dysregulation and gathering data through constant finger pricks and CGM experiments since I am now at greater risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes in the future. I've learned A LOT about what works and doesn't work for my body, and how my body responds to different foods. I hope this video helps you on your path to a healthier lifestyle!
