I'm terrified. Seriously.

My blood sugar was 162 last night before going to sleep. It was the same in the morning. And now, 2 hours after a breakfast that had a grand total of 33 carbs, that was mostly cottage cheese and yogurt and fewer berries than I should have had, it's 221. I called my doctor but he's not in. He doesn't return calls so I'm calling him again when he is in, at 1PM.

I've been taking the Glyset exactly as ordered.

I'm heading straight for insulin, aren't I?

I'm curious, how many of those 33 carbs were the natural sugars in the foods?

If it's spiking that much, it might be a sign the meds are losing their efficacy. With luck, there'll be another med that'll work better. Fortunately, treatments are getting better and better these days.

If it's any help, my grandmother was insulin-dependent. Yes, having to inject yourself twice (or more, she only had to do it twice) a day sucks rocks, but if she could manage it for over half her 72 years of life, being the scatterbrain she was, I'm sure if it comes to that, you'll be fine.

All. Lowfat cottage cheese. Plain lowfat yogurt. Raspberries. 1.5 Crispbread crackers (15 grams of carbs, you see.)

I just started the meds on Thursday!

My mom uses insulin. It's just that she was 52 when she started.
