First of all an average blood sugar of 200 mg/dl equates to an A1c of 8.6%. You need to get over your fears and work for an average blood sugar of atleast 140 mg/dl, in order to eliminate complications at a later date. We all go low, that is part of having diabetes. Just utilize the 15-15 Rule (15 carbs and wait 15 minutes to test again). Over correction will give you the yo-yo effect on your blood sugars. It all takes practice and hard work, I try to keep my fasting blood sugars between 70 mg/dl and 99 mg/dl. So far I am doing pretty well.
