As you are concerned about your blood sugar one option that you might want to consider is home monitoring until you have figured out what it is that is driving it up. My close friend has been monitoring his with the unit recommended by Dr Bernstein, the Elit XL glucometer. Using this and taking regular checks he found that the smallest amount of fruit would cause his blood glucose to climb and then crash. So much for an apple a day.....
So monitoring your blood glucose on a regular basis and recording it against the foods that you eat, both quantity and type, could help you to understand the relationship (if any) between your diet and your blood sugar.
Again I strongly recommend the Bernstein book Diabetes Solution.

Great idea!
 

That’s an idea! I’ll ask my doctor if I’m still in trouble after my next visit. Thanks a lot for the tip!

Bill's "sweetness"
 

OK, I've been doing more thinking on this very topic, ......

Bill, I have another non-diabetes theory about why your fasting bld. glucose was elevated. You stated that you'd fasted for 16 hrs, in hopes that the results (ie, the blood fats - cholesterol & triglycerides) would be "good". I'm wondering if maybe that length of time was too long (since only 12 hrs is required) ... and what happened is your body began to break down some of your muscle tissue to provide proteins/amino acids ... AND ... this would have stimulated the liver to produce and release glycogen (ie glucose) into the bloodstream.

OK, that's my theory, and I'm stickin' to it .. ;) ... Anyway, I sincerely hope your aberrant blood sugar result was just a fluke, a one-time blip in an otherwise healthy profile. Here's hoping.
