Well actually I hadn’t eaten yet it just went up from 8-9.8 before eating. I already eat moderately low carb with one slice of bread a day. I could go more extreme if I thought it might help I guess the problem I seem to be having is that my sugars are not making sense to me now before I would...

I was around 8 when I first got up then took meds and went up to 9.8 this has only been occurring for about a month. I find it so confusing!

I was afraid to eat very much and waited so long I was starving so I had an egg (fried) and one piece of buttered whole-wheat toast with large cup of coffee.

I am wondering myself if I might be better off on insulin.

That would be helpful thanks.

I have begun eating a lower carb diet not extremely easing into it but I am having some lows almost everyday I have cut back on medication but the weird thing is I will be higher than I want to be and then later 3.2. I then play catch up to bring it up some and end up at the same number again...
