[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 80643, member: 1338"] Hi Janine, My advice would be to get an appointment with your GP as soon as you possibly can as it is possible that you could be type 1. If not type 1 then the fact that your BS levels are not reducing could mean that your pancreas has limited functioning and you may need to be on insulin. You must demand that he either runs tests to prove whether you are type 1, or refers you immediately to a consultant endocrinologist. The most important test would be C-peptide as this measures exactly how much insulin your pancreas produces. Until you get the appointment it would be a sensible precaution to reduce your carbohydrate intake as much as you possibly can, in particular cut out as much as you can all cereals, bread, pasta and rice. Cut right down on potatoes and other root vegetables. This will at least severely reduce the amount of glucose in your system and will give any remaining insulin that you are able to produce a better chance of lowering that BS level. [/QUOTE]
