I was told on 12/26/13 that I am type 2. I was told to check my BG 4x per day. I am consistently having high BG levels. It was 290 yesterday after exercise (don't want to know what it was before). I wasn't really given any guidelines or instructions on what to do for high sugars. I was prescribed metformin 2x per day (lovely side effects ). Anyone have any advice for a newbie? I don't have my diabetes education class until Jan 21. I have read the Blood Sugar 101.
