Are you seeing an endocrinologist? If not you need to in order to get your blood sugar numbers and meds in order, the treatment of diabetes is there medical specialty. I had been seeing an internist when I was diagnosed with diabetes, early on they were able to manage my diabetes but as time went by not so much. The endocrinologist changed my meds and significantly cut back on Metformin and eliminated some others. My endocrinologist appt. was yesterday and my a1c was 6.6 and my weight was stable, having lost 60# since being diagnosed with diabetes. You should also see a diabetic dietician to help you make the food choices that make your diabetes easier to manage and lose weight that will also help.
That’s some good advice. I’m lucky to live near the Houston medical center. A lot of specialists here.
On another note. I’ve found mine easy to control if I’m consistent. I drink a Atkins drink in the morning for breakfast. And I eat a Atkins bar in the evening. I eat a regular large lunch at noon.
You will learn the amount of insulin you need when you keep things consistent. My A1C’s run between 6.4 and 7.0.
Eating sounds boring but keeping diabetes under control needs to be a long term goal. Good luck ! Hasbeen
