I have made quite a few changes over the past few weeks...cut out potato, flavoured milk, energy drinks, juice etc, to try to lower my BS. In New Zealand, normal is considered between 4 and 8 on the daily testing metre...I was getting just a word before the changes (I'm terrible, I know...sugar addiction is not good), then it dropped to around 25 on average. So went to the docs and he put me on Acarbose, in addition to Lantus Solostar and Glipizide, and it dropped to just under 20. Unfortunately it seems to have levelled out at around 15-17 on average and I can't seem to get it to drop any more. I've even tried doubling my oral pill dosage, but it didn't change one bit. The only time I got to my lowest, at 12.5, was when I hadn't eaten for an entire day. Do I need to go back to my doctor and get something new? I cannot starve myself just to get lower readings...I need to get it down so I can get back to work as a bus driver.
