[QUOTE="Eekey, post: 2610111, member: 71076"] I have consistently high fasting (morning) levels - Average 12.0 over the last few of months. I've been a T2 for over 10 years but my fasting levels have crept up over the last 3 years from an average of 8.0-9.0 to 12.0 now. My diabetes nurse doesn't seem overly concerned about this. Current meds: 2000mg Metformin and 240 mg Gliclazide (daily), 3mg Trulicity (weekly). I am fairly active - gym twice weekly etc. - and observe a lower carb and no added sugar diet. I'm arranging my next HbA1C today to start the discussion with my health care team - last HbA1C 3 months ago was 75. The longer these higher levels go on, the more concerned I am becoming. My current theory is that I might have been insulin resistant my whole life and now my pancreas is simply running out of it's finite insulin. Does this sound plausible or are there any other theories that might fit. [/QUOTE]
