Are your levels high @smigger62 or do you think this is a result of being put on insulin?

 

[smigger62]

Not started insulin yet.got to see nurse for a decision on when to take and how much...my before tea level was down to 10,6; lowest for a couple years.when I went to bed it was 17:1 . I work nights

Can we help you at all? It sounds like you need some help with getting some control over those numbers.

Maybe it is your diet? What sort of meals do you generally eat?

A lot of that food is high in carbs....Weetabix, bread,cous cous...Bananas...the weight watchers meal.....you could try looking at the carb content on the packets....seems a lot of carbohydrates to me which will send your BG up. It could explain your high numbers...that you are having too many and maybe not realising it

At times I wonder that too lol....it does pay to read the labels....I have become a label ninja now and can spot a carb at 200 paces haha

I think a lot do sometimes but at the end of the day ....we don't really have a choice do we?....we have to get it right or pay the price further down the line. There is so much good food you can have. You like a sandwich....most breads are a bit heavy on carbs. Lidl do a high protein roll that is both tasty and very filling and has little effect on BG...if you have a store near you it might be worth trying them....they are perfect to take to work for a meal
