Welcome @Heather Sinclair 🙂
That’s not ideal. Can you tell us a little bit more eg are you on any medication for your diabetes? Have you changed your diet? Do you have any weight to lose? How were you diagnosed and how long ago?

Hi @Heather Sinclair welcome to the forum.
Yes high enough to be of concern, read the posts above lots of good advice if you phoned your
DN/DSN they wouldn`t be worried about the figure but we know different that`s why this forum
has so many members who become proficient at controlling their Diabetes and so much knowledge
available to you too. Join the Learning Zone the Link is at the top of this thread and you can transform
into a knowledgeable Diabetic we call it the big D and you are T2 lots of short cuts to use, hope you
can reduce that figure with our help diet is probably the main issue in your case reducing carbs really
helps.
Take care stay safe. x

Welcome to the forum @Heather Sinclair
Sorry to hear that your BGs have been running high recently.
How long have you been living with diabetes? Perhaps it’s time to give your self-management a bit of an overhaul - these are often recommended as good starting points by members here, and may build on the knowledge you’ve already picked up,as well as filling in some blanks - Maggie Davey’s Letter and Gretchen Becker’s book T2 Diabetes, the first year. You can work through them gradually and they will give you a solid background into T2 and how to manage it.
Often you don’t realise how weary, worn down and lethargic you have been feeling. Erratic and elevated blood glucose levels can be exhausting and are linked with low mood, but this may have come on quite gradually. Making a few positive changes can give you more energy, a clearer mind, and a brighter outlook.
Keep asking questions here too - nothing will be considered too obvious or ‘silly’ and we have centuries of lived diabetes experience on the forum for you to ask 🙂
