| Thank you all for the quick and kind responses. You have all given me much to think about. I am so glad that I have found this forum, and found such great support.
Now, I still have much work left to do to get fit. In the meantime I plan to see an endocrinologist, but I don't think I need to rush. I need to take a deep breath.
As far as the high readings, they are occasional because I am being very, very careful about my diet right now. I test foods and then adjust accordingly. Unfortunately, the usual suspects (wheat, milk, fruit, potatoes, etc) will cause a spike--over 140, each and every time. Shoot, an ounce of strawberries will push me over 150. So, I don't eat them. If I eat carefully then I can stay at or under 140 at two hours. I will start testing more often to find out when I peak. Thanks for that suggestion.
Thanks again everyone.
