I went for my follow up appointment with my dietitian yesterday and we went over my numbers and diet from this last week. My after meals numbers a re pretty good, exept the days I cheated a little! (oops) The ones that are not so great are my fasting restults. They were around 85-87 now they are going up to 105-110. Is there anything I can do to keep these numbers in the normal range? I really don`t want to start the insulin pill, or worse the shot! I`m already checking my blood sugar 4 times a day, and giving my self a shot of Lovenox in the tummy every night. so, the last thing I want s more needles!!! Thanks in advance for you help!!!!

klunkette - 986 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I don't know I haven't had that problem thank goodness, but my dietician did say that eating before bed...like right before, helps. If you can stomach it, it is actually pretty yummy, try Soy milk (plian) it has less carbs and a lot of protien. Good Luck!
