I have type 2 diabetes but I am in very good control of it. My diabetic nurse was amazed at how low my HBAC1 was and every doctor that I have seen has said how well I am doing (I have also lost a load of weight) and that my diet (I follow a paleo one) is really healthy and to carry on as I am. I am now pregnant and intend to carry on with my way of eating. The midwife was really pleased and said there is absolutely no harm in losing weight during pregnancy and that she was very happy for me to carry on as I am as I eat very healthily. However when I saw the dietician and told her what my diet was she instantly said I wasn't having enough carbs and that I needed to eat more bread, pasta, rice and potatoes. I told her that if I have more of these carbs then my blood sugars would rise. She said "oh well we'll just have to give mother nature a boost and put you on insulin"! I was shocked, surely it's better for me to eat healthy and control my sugars that way. WIBU to refuse to see her again. I am definitely not going to add more carbs to my diet as I do not want to end up on insulin. I have been monitoring my sugar for the past few days and my readings are perfect.
