Im a bit concerned blood sugar of 26.4

[chubbyhubby]

Hi
I'm having real problems controlling my blood sugar levels had a bad patch a few weeks ago where my bs level reached 26.4 (ouch !!!! I know) its been gradually coming down (15 now) but has levelled out a bit and doesn't seem to want to go any lower . Not actually feeling too bad at the moment , apart from the tiredness . never had any vision or feet problems from my diagnosis 4 years ago . my B S is ,when normal still quite high ( between 9 and 11)
any advice is welcome

Hi,

Welcome to the forum.

You don't say if you are on meds or not, but for me the first thing to do is look at your diet. Low carb is definately the way to go in my opinion; there is loads of good info on this forum about it.

Try and quickly establish with self testing of BG levels, which foods agree with you and which don't.

Those BG levels you mentioned are extremely high and you must get them down to single figures ASAP. My a1c was 11.2 when I was diagnosed at the beginning of the year and the nurse told me I had to try and get it down to 7.

How often do you visit your GP or see the diabetic nurse?
