Keep doing what you’re doing (new diet), until you see them. A few weeks of slightly high blood sugar (130’s-150’s) won’t cause any real damage.

Letting it get up to 300/400/500 CAN cause some real problems, and long-term poor control (a1c at 11), certainly will.

If you’re already down in the 130’s, stay the course until you see the specialist. Don’t be surprised when they recommend that you lose 10-20 pounds, at a minimum..
