I was diagnosed in October of 2012. I was pretty controlled; so I didn’t really have to try very hard. About a year ago this started to change. Now I find myself with fasting numbers of 170 to 200.

FBS Reading Different For Each Hand
FBS Reading Different For Each Hand
Hello,
When I took my FBS this morning -- I got two different readings -- 140 in my left hand; 123 in my right.

High Fasting Bs In The Am?
I have consistently higher morning readings. For example, this morning it was 171 mg/dL at 8:30 am.
I hadn’t eaten or drank anything (other than water) since 6:30/7 pm the night before.
Any ideas why it’s so high?
