Also, when counting carbs, how many grams of carbs do you take in? I typically took in around 60g of carbs per meal, and shot for about 30g per snack. Don't forget to watch the fat intake too, as fats can raise the bg's over a longer period of time. Do you have an endocrinologist, or are you seeing a general practitioner? Also, consider asking for a referral to a nutrionist who specializes in diabetics, or a certified diabetes educator (cde). My cde has been a godsend to me, and has actually helped me figure this sneaky disease out better than my dr's.

If you have no insuline then all the drugs in world will have a 0 effect. Maybe you have no/low insulin. When I was first diagnosed, I had a difficult time showing my doc that I had little insulin. Your doc needs to take your BG about an hour after eating carbs as well as some test to indicate how much insulin shows up.

Myabe you should consider going back to your doc and discussing the possibilty of a change in meds more orientated towards a type 1 (insulin) Just a thought mind.
