I wish that I wasn't posting this now! My name is Joanne and I am recently diagnosed insulin resistant. I had gestational diabetes when I was carrying my first child, and was retested because of a few symptoms some months ago. My HbA1c was 7.3.

I am coping right now with just diet management and hope to keep it that way for as long as possible. My recent HbA1c came back at 5.7 and so I got the go ahead to stay of meds for a while, at least until this progresses which I assume it eventually will.

It's nice to see this place anyway, because I am sure I will have a ton of questions in the near future.
