High Blood Sugar Rant

Sorry you were blind sided by your diagnosis. If you are dealing with a chronic disease, you may want to consider finding a Doctor that asks for more information before delivering treatment recommendations.

Can you see a dietician or nutritionist for further guidance?

I was thinking endocrinologist. They're the specialists. It's kind of scary your doc just wants to treat what really is a symptom without considering what it means in the grand scheme of your health.

So fun stuff you learn about your family, when something like this happens. I didn't think I had a family history but it turns out my maternal grandmother, grandfather and great grandmother were all insulin dependent diabetics. I only ever knew one of them and she lived 1000 miles away. I think I may need to go track down a more detailed medical history on them. :-) Thanks for all the advise!

I have the same condition. My doctor told me that first of all I should limit carbs, which you are already doing, then that I should never eat a carb without pairing it with a protein. It's hard to do sometimes, but it does work. Always pair carbs with proteins, don't eat them by themselves, and see how that goes at your next bloodwork check.
