confusing glucose levels
 

I have had type 2 for over 12 years and still have trouble with readings. My morning fasting readings can be high but as soon as I eat, they drop significantly. I am in my late 60's and my A1c levels have ranged from low 5's to 8 and seems to be controlled by diet when I work on it. My doctor is confused as I am. I have been on and off a very low dose of glimiperide which does not always coincide with my A1c. Has anyone had this experience or have recommendations.

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section. We all have to work constantly on the exercise and carbs. You could also check into eating a small snack (a handful of almonds) before bed, sometimes this helps lower the morning numbers.
