hey again - just saw this. So I have IGT and never produced much milk. I had to supplement formula with both kids or they would have starved. I did everything possible to get a good supply but I do not have the glands to produce enough milk. I always wondered if that was why i was gaining weight and insulin resistant.

So from what I can tell, I am insulin resistant on high fat low carb and insulin sensitive on higher carbs from fruit with only added fat being olive oil. I can't find any info on this. I am also casein intolerant and have not been great at avoiding dairy - maybe that influenced things.

So the high cholesterol whilst breastfeeding is fine - I was aware of that - but the problem is thatmy HDL should be very high as well - and it is in the toilet. That really worries me. Also the triglycerides are way too high for the amount of carbs I have been eating.

I am now sleeping more as she is sleeping through the night. I am so down about all this.
