I'm at a loss

Getting my glucose under control right now is my biggest concern. Somedays I eat so little. I know I'm not getting enough calories and adequate nutrition. Each bite is closely scrutinized and makes me wonder if that little bit of food will make my glucose spike. And most likely it does spike. My numbers during week 2 of taking Metaforim were decreasing but week 3 are slowly starting to creep back up. It truly is frustrating knowing the longer my glucose stays above 140, the more damage is being done.

I've come to the conclusion that the 500mg of Metaforim I take twice a day isn't enough. Once further testing is done my Dr may need to increase the dosage and/or add a second medication. I was really hopeful the Metaforim would be enough but it's becoming more obvious it isn't. I think my Dr will need to do a GTT (glucose tolerance test) to get a better picture of what's going on with me. A GTT being done could very well change my my medication to insulin, I know this. The GTT is done in 2 parts.  The first part being a 12-14 hour fast after the fasting blood sugar test is done oral glucose is given and I would be re-tested  in 2 hours. My body isn't getting rid of glucose fast enough.

The sad reality is the last few days I have been waking up with a 12-14 fasting blood sugar over 140.  Before medicine and during the night my numbers would drop 5-10 points an hour. That might seem like alot but before diagnosis I was staying between 270 to 400.  Now since I been on medication it's going down 2 points an hour during the day. And it comes up at night. My glucose was 156 last night at 9 and it's 183 now.

High Glucose in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is caused by two different things. The pancreas produces inadequate insulin to use the glucose in the bloodstream or the insulin receptors are not functioning enough to allow the cells to use the glucose. Sometimes it can be both in Type 2 diabetes. I am beginning to think the insulin my body produces is very minimal if I have any at all and my body's cells can't use the glucose anymore.

I'm just so frustrated right now.

I did retest 2 hours later its 114
