Honestly I think testing more did it. I test at least 6times a day....less, and I didn't treat highs before they started. It also helped me determine which foods caused spikes, and even some that seem to help keep my numbers low. Eating nuts or avocado are a couple that seem to work for me. But since I am being honest, I have had to use more Novolog and increase my Lantus. I did not bring up a pump this time, but if I keep my A1C down, I intend to next time, I know there will be a hassle with insurance and I just am not ready to deal with it.
