[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2405053, member: 25851"] Oh Brettskee, you've been having a worse time than me. I thought I was bad, but not compared to you. I don't think it's acceptable for any doctor to give up on you when you obviously have need of medical help or support of some sort. However, if you are getting a Libre sensor, that might help you to identify what it is that is causing the rise in blood glucose. I thought when I discovered the low carb way of eating that it was the answer, and to a degree it was but it wasn't the total answer. Now that I have the Libre sensor, I can see what is going on throughout the day and night and what I was doing when the BG rose (or rather, 10 minutes before). I also keep a food diary and keep track throughout the day with what causes a rise or a drop. For me, any carbohydrate food causes a rise, fats, meats and many veggies don't but there are some veggies that should be pretty low in carbohydrates but they can, on occasion cause a spike. You would need to check this for yourself and see what causes your BG to rise - it might not be the same things as me. I would certainly look into the low carb way of eating, if you are not already doing that. Perhaps your new doctor could advise you on that - it seems that more and more doctors are coming around to that way of thinking these days. If you haven't tried it, there are lots of people on this forum who could point you in the direction. Maybe [USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] could advise there. There is a sub-forum called "What have you eaten today" for T2s but I don't know how to tag you into that. I do hope things go better for you when you see your new doctor. Keep well and keep trying - there must be an answer which could offer a hope of improvement for you. [/QUOTE]
