Hi blood sugar reading

[Adeynyty]

I have been diet controlled Type 2 for several years and got out of the habit of testing my sugar levels. I've been very tired an achy for a few weeks and so started morning tests after fasting. The results vary considerably but mostly above 8.5. This morning at 9.30 it was 21.2 and at 13.30 it was 8.9 after eating an apple. I've since had lunch but run out of testing strips until I get home..... Any advice/suggestions welcome.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Two possibilities spring to mind.
You have become complacent with your diet or you may now need some medication.
The fasting test is not going to tell you much about your sugars for the rest of the day, you need to start testing more frequently to see if there is a pattern emerging. I notice no mention of breakfast so you could have had a liver dump presuming you got up before 9.30 am.
Best to visit your G.P.
