I had it during my pregnancy! Feel free to message me about anything 😊

I had it with both of my kids. The first one was very low blood sugar, hypoglycemia. Had to eat lots of sweets daily to maintain a good sugar level. My second was hyperglycemia, had to restrict my diet to mostly like keto protein and veggie, with very little fruit or sugary stuff. Once my babies were born, I had to get the A1C test to make sure I didn't become diabetic. With each pregnancy, you become at a higher risk to develop diabetes later in life. Even if it isn't hereditary.
