[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 1988949, member: 480869"] Id be pretty miffed too jumping from a routine appointment to urgent cancer screening both decisions based on the same results. I’m very much hoping his first instincts turn out to be the more accurate. In the (stressful) meantime I think a blood glucose meter is the way forward. Testing before and 2hrs after each meal, keeping a note of which foods were eaten. It’ll show how you’re currently sitting in a “live” way not as a snapshot one off at the drs. If the numbers are hitting the teens again though I’d be getting advice and help there and then, not waiting. The stress might elevate your numbers, food isn’t the only contributing factor, just a major one. Also you say you are watching sugar, you need to be watching all carbs not just sugars as these are what will spike you higher as per jo’s post above. Your profile suggests no diabetic medications so it should be safe to lower carbs and see the effect that has. (If it’s not correct then you may need to be more cautious, drug dependant). [/QUOTE]
