My blood sugar level was at 360 last week with blurred vision and my doctor prescribed Fortamet HC 500mg once a day. The following week it was 325. She then suggested I take Fortamet twice a day and an insulin shot every morning. I have since then eliminated foods with any form of sugar, eat only baked meats, salads, cereal, steamed veggies, and fresh fruits. Although my vision has returned to normal, I don't think I'm doing enough. Any diabetics out there have any suggestions?

mine was right at 500, and the doctor suggested that i go into
the Hospital for three days, they still wasnt able to get it down
like it should have been. i hope that you are feeling better, and that everything will workout for the best with you, and for
you, now and in the future.

Although I'm not a diabetic, I am a nurse and I suggest you check out the website for the ADA (American Diabetes Organization). I believe the address is ada.org. There's tons of information for your there from the leading authority on diabetes types 1 & 2.

Has your blood sugar gone down after the changes in medication? If so, you are probably doing enough. Exercise is also important for managing diabetes.
