ok great...well not great but theres a lesson in your story, when you eat bread, rice, pasta, potatoes and any other carbohydrate, you are eating sugar or to put it another way sugar is just another carb, as a diabetic cant deal with the sugar= carbs= glucose its a great idea not to put them in, many of us find reducing these foods to a much lower level has a dramatic effect on our bgs, its beyond me why you are taking insulin without trying to control it with diet first but im not a doctor and would be irresponsible to tell you what meds to or not to take, but reduce your carbs and you will find a dramatic improvement, to both your general health and insulin doses, its great your trying to walk especially with the issues with your back, this is a great method of getting down those numbers, once you have seen some better numbers and have reduced your insulin you could maybe go back to the doc and reevaluate the meds, you will need to correct your doses which is a good thing but you must be careful not to go too low, if youve been running high numbers for a while you should be able to tell when your going low but you must test ALOT until things settle down, its not unusual to be given zero help from your doctor or other health care professionals and sent away to get on with it, but youve done the right thing looking for help, there are some very clever people here (much more than me) and we can help you fix yourself
