Sugar levels not coming down

That's exactly why the nurse said to aim for under 10 for now, and bring them down slowly.
 
I finally hit the 4s today, and I've been waking up less than 7 for the past few days. Things are looking up!

I was very young to get it, I never looked after myself, and its a family condition so it was almost inevitable. I also have PCOS, which is known to affect sugar levels and diabetes in general. I may ask questions about that condition and see if that is having some effect. I really don't want to go onto insulin if I can avoid it, but I am starting to see that it could be the way I will be going.
Went to bed at 5.3, woke up 9.6
breakfast 2x high meat content sausages with ardennes pate
2 hrs after breakfast 12.5
just before lunch 11.5
lunch, 3 sausages cut up into chunks, handful of salad, cheese, and a oil and vinegar dressing
2 hrs after lunch 9.6
just now 6.5
I'm half tempted not to eat tonight, and see what happens in the morning. Nurse at the moment says anything under 10 is acceptable as she doesn't want the levels to come down too quickly, but I disagree and think the quicker I'm normal the better.

Mine goes up over night to 14 from 9. Been reading up on it. Trying Apple vinegar tonight. That is supposed to slow down the liver dump
