They just diagnosed my husband with type 2 diabetes. They really did not tell him what he is supposed to look for. He tested 126 and 121 fasting. Then we got his meds they gave him 500mg Metformin twice a day. We are going into day 2.. He tested 115 at 1 pm yesterday, 143 at 3:20 pm, 146 7:10pm, then he tested at 142 after waking this morning at 6 am, I gave him a light breakfast of 1/2 a whole wheat whole grain bagel w/ 1tbsp of cashew butter and 1 tsp of splenda strawberry preserves and a small glass of almond milk. he started feeling a little weak and light headed around 9 am after being on his feet for about 1 1/2 at our business, we tested and his number was 115. He then had a light snack of 1 tbsp Hummus and about 6 whole wheat baked organic snack chips. We have searched everywhere and do not know what his normal numbers should be at and when we should panic, one pharmacist said to have glucose tablets handy when he feels light headed, another said the numbers are drastically changing, one said call if you get 70 or above 200. No one has explained to us what we are doing. I have snacks on hand for him of celery and carrot sticks, organic whole wheat whole grain flatbreads and baked snack chips, hummus and apple juice. I am in charge of his diet and I have regulated his saturated fat and have replaced his saturated fats with whole wheat whole grain foods, and more veggies. Please help we have not a clue what we are doing.
