I HONESTLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!

Agh, how frustrating!  What are you eating?  Are you taking other medication for other conditions?  Talk to your doctor.  Let us know what's going on.

I was just wondering if other meds were interfering with the blood sugar. Sometimes that happens. Keeping a detailed chart/journal/log (what's in a name?) with times, blood sugar readings, what you eat, etc. will help you and the doctor figure out what's going on. I hope so. I would like to say that eating a low carb diet, not overeating at meals, maybe spreading the food out throughout the day with a couple of snacks instead of just 3 meals, engaging in some regular and sustained exercise will help even out blood sugar and keep in in much better numbers but that's not happening. For example, you say it was 180 this morning. What did you eat and drink for dinner and did you eat or drink anything after dinner last night?

The mornings are the worst for higher sugars - called Dawn Phenomenon or Somogi (sp) effect. Morning numbers also can reflect what you ate for dinner last night. Not sure when you are taking your dose(s) of metformin but you will have to play around with it - splitting doses a.m. and p.m. Some people find drinking a small glass of red wine with dinner helps their morning blood sugars. Also, as soon as you get up, your liver starts dumping sugar thinking your body needs it. Eat something right away - a small low carb yogurt or an egg - this will stop the liver dump. Then do a little exercise, walking whatever and eat more later after your sugars are lower. Diabetics just can't eat big breakfasts - no cereal or bread. Good luck.

Save your last snack until right before going to bed. Peanut butter is good or some protein. Not a lot to the point of feeling full. Just something to keep your sugar stable through the night.
