Well, that's a pretty normal BG reading. Obviously the meds have something to do with it. Are you doing anything in relation to what you're eating? You might expect that the DN could suggest reducing some of your meds to see what happens. If nothing else has changed, that could be an issue.

Excellent. You might find that the change in eating may have had more impact on your BG reduction than the meds.

Crack on!
