I give up......

I cannot tell you how bad I feel. Yesterday my number was 195 2 hrs after lunch. I felt so awful at the time. Real sleepy and couldn't think properly. I knew what I wanted to say..but my words kept coming out all wrong. It took a few hrs but eventually it dropped to 144 and I felt better. Today I had my usual breakfast. Tested and was 119...i didn't have anything more to eat but started to feel crappy again. Tired with a strange headache..so I decided to test again even though only 30 mins went by. I was up to 123. About 15 more mins later my fingers started to tingle..I tested again 140. Keep in mind almost 3 hrs have passed since I ate cereal. Now first of all my numbers are normal. So why then do I feel so lousy? And why on earth do they slowly go up like that? This is the second time I have noticed this and it's really starting to concern me. How bad does someone feel, who's numbers are in the 200's? My heart goes out to them. Maybe this "full blown diabetic" thing my dr is talking about has already occured. I'm wondering if I should call him. He said to wait till the 7th. I'm tired of feeling bad. I'm also tired of having such a passive dr. Or am I making too much out of this? I don't know...

Healthcare is a strange animal, that's for sure. Seems no matter where you live
something always happens to interfere with good care.

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time quincy with your doctors. You shouldn't have to go through all this when you're working on keeping your diabetes under control. Good luck.
