From personal experience I would tell you to increase your insulin if you are running those numbers everyday. They are higher than they should be and lots of bad things like heart bypass surgery awaits…
Also, eat some protien with those drinks (peanuts) It kind of maintains things to prevent dramtic low blood sugar when your sleeping.

I’m afraid I’m not the best person to answer your specific question. Diabetes is very different for each of us and it’s very hard to tell what your particular circumstances are.

I agree with you. There seem to be issues that no one seem to be addressing and that is what my post tries to highlight. Unfortunately, I’m not a health professional myself so I can’t help you directly.

Have you considered talking to a diabetes educator?

Hope you find answers to your questions soon,

Henry.-

I DRINK THREE MARTINIS AND / OR THREE MANHATTANS A DAY
MY SUGAR RANGES FROM 157 TO 238.
IF I CONTINUE THIS, WHAT AM I IN FOR ? ?
I CANNOT GET FROM ANY SOURCE A COMPLETE STATEMENT.
IT SEEMS THAT EVERYONE THAT WRITES ABOUT ALOCHOL
CIRCUMVENTS THE ANSWER
