My bs has become unstable like I was 5.3 mmol before eating and 2 hours later 14.8 mmol with chicken and half a plate of vegetables. My hb1ac has increased probably due to my issue after eating as it comes back down 4 hours later then I eat again and up it goes again. I'm on metformin 2000mg and alogliptin 25mg and my nurse is adding gliclazide. I'm not overweight and my hb1ac on diagnosis in 2008 was 135 it went down to 48 (Sept 2019) and now it's up to 69(December 2019). I am on a low carb high protein lifestyle and on a bs roller coaster right now.

Hello @Tigergirl
From your previous posts I can see that you’ve been diagnosed a while, and have lost a significant amount of weight. I think you were diagnosed with diabetes about 10 years ago?
Do you mind me asking what age you were diagnosed?
It may be that you are T2 and that your beta cells are flagging a little and that you may need insulin to support your diabetes management. But there is a possibility that you may have LADA (a slow-onset form of T1 that develops later in life and that your comfort eating / weight at diagnosis steered your diagnosis towards T2, when your beta cells were always under autoimmune attack and insulin was going to be necessary sooner or later.
It certainly seems like your current meds are struggling, but if those meds are based around getting the islet cells to produce more insulin, they may not work well if you are losing beta cells to autoimmune attack.
I’m not sure if a GAD antibody or cPeptide would be more helpful at this stage, but having a conversation about this with your clinic/GP might be worthwhile?
