I'm a diabetic also..that's a little high for a spike..usually a doctor doesn't want you spiking over 200 2hours after you eat! You might need to take a look at what you're eating and how much.
I wouldn't increase your medication without consulting your doctor first. Been there..done that..plus a trip to the hospital over it!!
I hope this helps!!!

These results depend on:
1] what your prescribed calories are [ 1500, 1800, etc. ]
2] how well you follow it
3] how much you weigh [ ideally, within normal weight range ]
4] how much and what type of meds you are taking
5] how long after eating did you test the blood sugar?
Keep a record of all results, and see your doctor as soon as possible - don't ask about dosages on yahoo - you will get some bad answers!

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/rBUTf
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

Noooooooooo!, you should inject insulin 1/2 hour before a meal or take tablet (I don't take glyburide,so I don't know when to take that) but I do take glipizide 1/2 hour before each meal ), then EAT! once medicated (no skipping meal) fatal, 1 hour after your meal your blood sugar should be less than 140mg/gl, 2hours less than130mg/gl 3hours less than120mg/gl, 4 hours less than 110 and 5 hours your ready to eat again at 100 mg/gl or less but not less than 70mg/gl Keep it there no more than 140 and no less than 70. Anything else can not only kill you but will speed up complications, (kidney problems, amputations, ect...). i'd consult my doctor about higher doses of glyburide or an additional medication, or a change of medication, sorry I can't advise anything other than that.

No!!! don't take more meds, eliminate all grains and cereals and potatoes, carrots, corn,peas, dried type beans and legumes, rices, etc from your meal plan!!
If you will eliminate eating all these starchy foods you will see an immediate decrease in your post prandial glucose readings and probably your fasting glucose as well!!
The ADA trained CDEs and dieticians are well intentioned but have not a clue that starches are the real meanies, so they keep urging us to eat them!!!

it does take some time for the insulin to start working, so if it has only been an hour after eating and it is 260, you are ok. just as long as it comes down

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.
