Should I be worried enough to go on meds?
The last week or so my fasting numbers have been consistent at 7.1 . I took a reading at 3 hours after breakfast (my usual homemade oat based muesli , yoghurt , cinnamon , a coffee and a piece of fruit and it was 5.7 which I consider pretty acceptable. Rest of the day I stick to pretty low carb /low GI meals except for my 1 piece of fruit with a meal. I do loads of exercise daily when at home as in 1 or 2 high intensity classes in the gym but am away at the moment just doing lots of walking. Weight is around 61 kilos - too much for my 5 foot height but I am muscly from the classes I do. I have loads of energy but only sleep 2 hour sleep stints but do go straight back to sleep.
Should I be worried enough to go back to the diabetic nurse at the surgery I see once a year if they bother to call me in!!
Thanks
