[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1698282, member: 355878"] Your numbers seem not too bad, except the morning reading - as you are taking insulin then you can't drop your carbs to the usual level a type 2 can benefit from. If you are taking the same amount of insulin at the same time each day then having an even intake of carbs might really help - rather than breakfast being high carb one day and then low for some time - I don't run out of foods I consider an essential part of my diet. Eating two slices of bread for me would be catastrophic, for you it might just give your metabolism a knock, but one it doesn't need. I think that some HCPs really need to get a swift education in what diabetes is all about rather than making light of what can be a very serious illness if mismanaged. If your HCPs insist that you take the same insulin at the same time each day then you really do need to work out just how many carbs you have to eat to keep yourself in the right zone, and when, as insulin resistance can change during the day, and keep any changes you decide to make quite small so as to keep yourself safe.
