If this reading is significantly higher than before, yes, I would contact the diabetes nurse to see how this can be improved.

In the mean time, there may be ways to improve things yourself. You clearly have a glucose meter. Do you only use it to test fasting numbers or do you also test before and two hours after meals to see what different meals do, and maybe adjust them to be more diabetes friendly?
