I ran a high fever a few years ago, and shortly after, my blood sugar started getting wonky. I was told to watch my diet and was given a low dose of Metformin.
Here's what's worked for me:
1) I cut out french fries and carbonated drinks. That got me down significantly.
2) I started eating regular meals, and especially cut out eating my dinner on the late side. The earlier I eat dinner, the better my morning readings got.
3) I stopped eating any sort of sweets, desserts, breakfast pastry, etc.
4) I eat nuts or jerky for a snack.
5) I try to eat low-carb alternatives. The local pizza place has a whole wheat crust option-- that sort of thing.
I'm staying in bounds pretty much solidly since.
