[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 361994, member: 19121"] Hi lwsjl01 and welcome to the forum, firstly congratulations on weaning yourself off insulin, I did the same three years ago. However you cant afford to let your good work slip and your bg level of 13.8 is as Im sure you know not good. I would go back to see your doctor and IMHO you must test regularly in order to find out what foods push your bg levels up, by testing before meals and 2 hours after meals you will start to see a pattern of what your diet is doing to your bg levels. If your 2 hour after eating (postprandial) test level is more than 1 to 1.5 mmol/L higher than your pre meal test level then you might want to think about cutting back on the carbohydrates in that meal, and if you do that for a week or three you will start to see a big improvement in your bg levels :D I would say its either that or more medication and maybe a return to insulin.
