I believe mine was from a nasty virus. Doesn't matter, it is what it is now I had the same trouble. Boeing prescribed meds that either didn't work or made things worse. My suggestion is to get the tests azure mentioned as soon as possible. Have you told anyone the meds aren't working and how high you've been? My concern is some of the type 2 meds work on the pancreas and squeeze it to produce insulin. If your c pepetide is very low you want to preserve any pancreatic function you still have and get on insulin. Insulin is not nearly as bad as I had imagined. The finger sticks hurt much worse.  Some fortunate people are able to use insulin temporarily to bring high bs down and give the pancreas a rest. Sometimes we get too high ( maybe from your puncture) and the pancreas can't keep up or catch up. Unfortunately I am not one of those people. Those tests will answer your questions and give you a diagnosis. Best wishes and please get this sorted out as soon as possible!</blockquote>
