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?

{{hugs}} I wouldn't panic yet. You're just starting some new things, and it might take time to kick in. Also, there are steps before insulin.

I hope. I really do.

What's the point of being hungry and weighing and measuring if it's worse this week than last week?

Part of the point is figuring out what exactly your body needs to stay in balance; it's at least as much art as science, since we still don't really know all the little details of what makes a body tick.

On top of the other suggestions, I'd suggest drinking lots of unsweetened liquids to help your body flush out the excess glucose.

Liquids. Check.

Thank you.

And I guess I knew that. I know I'm keeping records of everything. *Pats* PDA.
