I was diagnosed type 2 in 2006. From day one of testing my Test meter was very friendly. It kept saying Hi on the screen, after a couple of months I was able to get the readings down to the teens. . I was on medication for Myasthenia Gravis at the time and apparently this was giving high blood sugar readings. It took me almost a year to get readings below 10. This lasted for a couple of years and then started to climb above 12. . For the last 4 weeks I have been testing 4 times a day. On one ocassion I tested at 5.2. I had a cup of coffee and tested an hour later. The reading was 20 at that stage. My reading prior to the earlier test was 7.6. I had no sugar in the coffee and nothing to eat. It may have been caused by my med for MG. . For the Diabetes I am on Glipizide 15mg, Metformin 2000 twice a day, Insulin 32Units in the morning and 26 unit in the evening. One day I will get it sorted.
