In defence of Ally - she has had a very long and hard struggle to get down where she is now.Hi Ally
I had a look at some of your previous posts and it looks like your fasting blood glucose (BGs) have been around 10 for at least a couple of months. This is too high, my friend.
Fasting BGs should be more like 4-6, to keep the rest of the day's BGs under 8.5, and preferably under 7.8.
Your medication could be increased but it might be better to reduce some carbs in what you are eating.
I'm sorry you interpreted my post as critical or negative - it was motivated solely out of concern. I'm quite worried about her. I think the fairest/kindest thing is to be honest. High BGs carry the risk of complications, and if they can't be reduced by low carbing then many would agree that insulin is an option well worth considering. But I didn't suggest that straight off because I'm sure some would criticise me for it. One can't win sometimes.In defence of Ally - she has had a very long and hard struggle to get down where she is now.

bluetit, i rang the surgery and my result is not in yet@ally1 Perhaps it might be wise to give the receptionist a ring and ask what your results were (I take it this was an HbA1c?)
Doctors aren't always the best at contacting us when results come in. The receptionist should tell you what the result was and then you will know exactly where you stand.
Thank you for providing this information instead of criticising me for something I cannot be expected to know.You can't be expected to know Ally's history as you haven't been here very long. We have long been worried about her, and there are several long detailed threads back in the past. She knows about carbs and does her very best to keep them down. She is also aware of all the dangers of high BS, particularly as she has been hospitalised for this. Her day time levels are rarely as bad as her fastings. Most people manage and cope very well with insulin, a few others might not.
Next time .....
Have your sleeping pattern change or you under high stress? Consider these factors they might be contributing to your highs.14.2
