I just tested my blood glucose level is 228, Ive never seen it this high, should I be concerned. I am not on medicines or insulin. Recently diagnosed w type 2 D, with a 6.5/140 testing. It has been controlled by diet.  I am vegetarian, no sugars or overlyprocessed grains, but vegetarians do eat more carbs -thougChatDoctorplex. I did overeat a bit, 2 hours ago, sprouted grain corn tortillas with lentils and plain yogurt, usually dont have the tortillas. Also its late, Ive less sleep from work on avg. More anxious. I usually experience fast falls in glucose 2 hours after eating, into the 70 and 80 range.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Diabetes can progress, though the progression is normally slow. Persons can move from control with diet to needing more and more medications. The reading that you quoted is high. You should consider a 4 or 5 day profile where you note everything that you eat or Chat Doctor. If the readings are persistently elevated, then you may need to start medication. I hope this helps
