Any suggestions of new diets? or help? thanks > for listening.... No diabetic with sense would attempt to eliminate all carbs from their diet. All people, including those with diabetes, need carbohydrates. But, controlling the amounts is important. That is where a diet comes into play. Exercise also helps, but there are practical limits for most people. That is where the medication comes into play. Before you would need to go on insulin, there are several other oral meds that might work. You do need to see your doctor because your present blood sugars are too high. Some of the oral meds such as Starlix or Prandin, stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin. It is nearly impossible to avoid eating just because your BG is already high, although eating at that time will only make it higher. This is when you need something to bring it down. Don't wait a long time for an appointment. Call the doctor's office and tell them that you need to see your doctor very soon. If your meds are increased or changed to others, be sure to use your meter to avoid any unexpected lows.
