Was diagnosed with type 2 December 17 2014.
Have been off work waiting for rotator cuff repair since April 2014. Had surgery Jan 5 2015 finally. Wondering if injury and time before surgery played a role in high b s?
Blood test showed level of 34.5. Take 2 metformin twice daily and 18U of insulin at bed time. Levels run an average of 6.7.

Welcome to the Forum!

If you were stressing over the surgery, that will drive your blood sugar up. A major injury and the accompanying pain will do the same.

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.

I have had type 2 diabetes since 1986 and still don't have neuropathy but have my kidneys involved with creatinine level around 1.8 so I cannot have oral pills to controls diabetes. I have insulin coverage 5 times a day now and am brittle fluctuating 83 to 363 I've the last month. My HGB A1C was 7.2 in August. I have been logging my blood sugars 3 to 4 times a day on Glucose Buddy and benefit from the graphed readings for the last 5.5 months. I also log my diet on my I-phone 4 with myfitnesspal.com and recently started fitbit to help with wt loss and tracking my diet and exercise. Is it possible to sync glucose buddy with myfitnesspal.com & fitbit. My lifestyle is active but logging on three apps gets tedious???
