You taken your medicine correctly? Things that are bad for us diabetics, bread, orange juice, corn, rice, grapes. Chips and alcohol, alcohol is our worst enemy period. You're at twice the acceptable level. I'm at 6.5 A1C

No I don't eat right and screw pharmacist and nurses at my Doctor's office.Hes so busy I haven't Ben able to see him in a year and they won't let you talk to him and now hes retired.Mynsugar was 115 this morning I took extra glimpride. DOC said if it was high double up but his nurses argue with me and so does the pharmacy cause the script says 1 2 times a day.Im gonna see a different clinic now but am going to take 2 2 times a day. I gained weight cause my sugar was off and I'm always hungry.i couldn't fight it.itbwas making me feel like a was hungry all the time.Im going to check my blood regularly again I haven been.

115 sounds great to me. Mine averages 154 and puts my A1C at 6.99 which pleases my Primary Dr.

115 isn't bad. I wish you good luck. A doctor who you can't see in a year, I wouldn't have waited that long
Doctors are born everyday. Find a new one.

It be a lot cooler if you did...
I was in the ICU a few months ago in DKA almost in a coma...my endo couldn't see me for 6 months after!!! I changed immediately!! Been better but, not where it needs to be. Everyday just seems to be a struggle with my blood sugar...So frustrated!! I see an Insulin pump in my future. I have been trying to put it off, I just think I'm gonna break it or, rip out the tube while wrenching or painting cars.

I guess I'm lucky I live so close to the Mexican Border. I can go down there and get 2 1/2 months worth for $75 where my co-pay here would be $900 for the same amount. I buy a years supply at a time
Damn sugar/carbs is brutal. 99% of food on planet has it and the other 1% tastes like ***.
Spikes are bad, BUT drops are worse. I was always told you could "recover" from a spike, but "drops" will kill you.
My sugars all over the map, I've basically given up and just take my 8(4 are same) pills a day.

Bread of any kind spikes me a lot so we don't buy bread anymore
Watch carbs as much as possible but they cannot be avoided altogether unless you want to graze with the cattle. -
