(I'm too lazy to scroll back to another page and see who asked...) I did get gestational diabetes with my 3rd pregnancy (second birth), and did the insulin thing six times a day. It was gone as soon as I delivered. There is no history in my family, other than my sister getting it with her twins (also gone at delivery). I've been tested many times, still have my meter and whatnot. I have my own beliefs about nutrition and that is that not every person functions the same way. All you have to do is look around and I believe, you will see what I mean. You may know a vegetarian that eats fruits and veggies all day and feels great. If I did that, I would be miserable from the highs & lows. I eat mostly meat and vegetables - yet if that vegetarian tried it, they would most likely feel awful. So I don't think that every person's body processes food the same way. I think that people have to find what works for THEM, what sort of eating plan makes them feel the best and function the best. Avoiding most carbs, particularly fruit (although I do eat blueberries & some other berries which are low in natural sugar), makes me feel good and function well. Cali
