Thank you all so much for your replies.
I think if you eat a VERY low carb diet consistently, you will control your BG levels and you won't have to start on insulin. This is a time where it is SO important to start looking for low carb meals/snacks.
Do a lot of research and be your own advocate.
Try looking at Paleo websites for ideas of healthy all natural low carb meals and snack ideas.

Good luck and hang in there. :)
Hello,
Low carb will be really helpful and the exercise.
If your numbers don't come down further (ideally 80-120 range which is normal), then after a few week you may need to start on insulin. This is not something to be scared of. Insulin is a fabulous tool and can be used to normalise blood sugar.
Please read up on diabetes and your treatment options. It is important to get good control so you can avoid any long term complications of diabetes.
I find increasing my walking time while decreasing my carb intake helps a lot. Stay active don't be a couch potatoe.
that sounds normal. Met can take up to a month to work to full potential. For most people the AM reading is the highest due to DP (dawn phenomenon) It took time to become diabetic it will take time to control it.
