Default Re: Confused?? Blood sugar still high??

My doctor changed my evening meds so I take double what I did before because my fasting numbers were so much higher than my afternoon numbers. I find that if I eat a small snack before dinner my fasting numbers are better than if I don't eat anything.

I wrote this to you in the induction area, but in case you didn't see it I'll tell you again. I was diagnosed Type 2 last June - my A1C at the time was 10.3 and I was immediately put on 5/500 glyb/metformin in the morning and 500 metformin at bedtime. After my fasting numbers were still too high in December she changed my evening metformin to 1000 mg.

It will take time for your numbers to come down and stay there - it doesn't happen overnight. Don't be surprised if your lipid panel comes back higher than it was the last time you had one done....the one I had done last week did - and I have been eating this way since January. I'm hoping when I have my next lipid panel done in 2 months my numbers will be better.
