Why did you have a banana and a glucose tab at 8? You were at 269? Some cheese or nuts would have been a better choice. I haven't had a banana for so long I forget what they smell like! LOL That 103 in the morning wasn't too bad.

As you get into this, it does become easier. For now, just log your #s and the food. When you show this to doc, s/he will most likely start you on a med. Probably metformin. Please don't see it as a failure on your part. It's not. If you have insurance, find out what their preferred meter is, and how many strips they will cover. The meter should be free, and the strips should have a reasonable co-pay. Then tell doc to write a script for the max allowed. If s/he says you don't need to test that much, tell them it's for you, your body, your D.

I also have a very VERY low opinion of the carp the dieticians spew at their classes. If you'd like help there, PM me, and we can talk off forum.

I am T2 on the OmniPod now, but did the diet med excercise for about 8 years.
