For 3 months my readings are between 14 and 16
I am on actraphane insulin. I check what I eat. I have even joined a skipping rope group. What am I doing wrong?๐Ÿ˜ข

Talk to your doctor - even though you are on a mixed fast/slow acting insulin, if your numbers are still up in the teens you are not on "enough".

A dosage adjustment is most likely needed.

I went for my check up and I spoke to my doctor. Apparently Amlodipine could be the reason. As my blood sugar started hiking when I was put on Amlodipine. We are exploring other remedies. And I will definitely come back with what worked and all. Thank very much for your input.๐Ÿ’œ
