Just continue to see doctor. And dont give up. The single most important and helpful thing you can do is DOCUMENTATION. Its a pain in the butt but well worth the effort. GB a great help. Record your bs's and use the note part as well. Record time,bs, any meds you took including insulin. The more you check it the better. Try to check it before breakfast, lunch, dinner and at bedtime. That way dr can tell more about whats going on. Its very difficult for a dr to diagnose on just the results he sees in his office. Keep in mind its not forever and its for your benefit. Also understand everything you do, eat, or drink affect diabetes. Including exercise, colds, meds including over the counter, and stress. In your diet try to focus on eating proteins. Most new diabetics get it in their heads its sweets and sugar they have to avoid. Not so. Carbs Carbs Carbs. ( course if you're watching carbs you'll be dodging the sugars. But instead of paying close attention to sugar content you'd be better off watching carb contents. Sugar runs bs up alright, but certain carbs run it up and KEEP it up for long periods. And what affects one of us not necessarily all of us. My friend absolutely cant eat pizza although pizza doesnt affect me much. However peas destroy me. Hope in my rambling something was helpful
