I was in exactly the same situation as you a few days ago. It turned out I just had a virus...my first since being diagnosed but I was convinced it was related to my Type 2. It did spur me on to get a meter, however, and I am now doing a full week of testing, trying out different foods to see...

Thanks...I have been trying to eat more nuts. I worry about my cholesterol with the cheese....it is still a bit high at 5.6
