Hi everyone...am new here and new to diabetes. I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago and put on metformin 500 twice a day. I have been taking my fasting blood sugar in the morning before any eating. It doesn't seem to matter what I have eaten the day before as my fasting was been anywhere between 106-163. I am only eating 1000-1500 calories and have totally cut out all chips, pretzels, candy, ice cream or any other sugars that are considered junk food. I feel like I am doing something wrong. I have been on a leave of absence from working as a very active, busy RN in a hospital and am hoping that the inability to walk a lot (had ankle surgery and have been off since middle of July) is why my sugars have been high in the morning. Any thoughts or suggestions. I keep a log of all my calories and carbs and think that I am doing well in this department. It is just a downer when i only eat less than 1000 calories and my fasting this morning was 137. I need some reassurance that I am doing this new diet right. Thanks in advance
