Hello, I have T2 diabetes controlled with Metformin and Victoza.
I am getting very frustrated by my consistently very high blood sugar readings from a couple of hours after eating. For example, this evening, I went out for dinner, I had french onion soup, steak and chips and a small pastry, I know this wasn't healthy, it was a treat night but I really don't think that I consumed more than 10-20g of sugar.
I get home, I've just tested my bloods and despite taking my medication I am 20.5. I am seriously worried by this as it is not the first time I've got these results 2-3 hours after eating and I think it is affecting my mood and (obviously) my health. My GP increased the dose of Metformin I take but I need some advice on how to get down to the right levels as even if I move over to a healthier diet I still struggle to get readings below 9-10mmol.
Thanks!
