Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

My diabeties has gone through the roof lately and every morning it is high ranging from 12.8 to 16.6.. Struggling to understand whats going on now! It was at 28.4 a few days ago and i felt dreadful...Got to see my diabetic nurse next week.. at my age now (63) i am struggling to manage it..I try to eat as best as possible, but have no idea why it is so high. I really wish mine was as low as some of you here 5.2 or even somewhere near, i think it would make me feel better...After having two strokes and two heart attacks couple of years ago now, my diabeties went awol and struggle to keep it low. I try not to eat the wrong things, and avoid sweet things as well, but it just went silly and now i am finding it hard to get down and control... Need to see my diabetic nurse next week.. The tablets i take cause me all sorts of problems....Feeling hot and cold during the night, wake up in the morning with aches and pains in all my joints, hands flaring up like hard to grip feel like they are inflammed. Keep telling the nurse and she says its normal, its really getting to me now....
