[QUOTE="fiona35, post: 2350169, member: 11402"] I’m sorry about the title but that’s how I feel at the moment. My blood sugars are going up all the time and not coming down, the the insulin doses are increasing all the time but it’s not doing anything to help my high Blood Sugars! My HBA1c 6 mths ago was 71, 3 mths ago was 68 and the other week was 70. I feel like I might as well not bother eating anything these days, this morning I had bacon and eggs for breakfast and 1 hour afterwards my BS was 17.8! Last night I had salad with pork belly bites and 1 hr afterwards it was 14.9! Typically I eat either bacon & eggs for brekkie or coconut yogurt with a few berries, lunch will either be a homemade soup or a sort of ploughman’s picky plate of cheese, ham & a few pickles and dinner is usually meat/ occasionally fish and some veggies. Even though I know my sugars are high, my DSN just tells me to keep upping the insulin but I feel she isn’t listening to me that I don’t think it’s working. They don’t like the diet I follow and don’t support it, and are constantly telling me I can have cereal for breakfast, it’s okay to eat a sandwich and have potatoes with my dinner, except to my body I might as well eat pure sugar! How would I know if I’m insulin resistant and therefore no amount of upping the units is going to help? Has anyone else got any other suggestions on lowering sugars, I’m going for long walks already and drinking lots of water. If anyone has any other suggestions I’m open to new ideas. Thanks [/QUOTE]
