Hi I have diabetes type 2 and my age is 64 years. And I am taking medication of amaryl 1 mg (1 time daily in morning after breakfast) and metformin (glucophage) 500 mg after breakfast and launch. (2 times daily). I only take breakfast and launch. And some other snacks like yogurt and milk. I do regular daily morning walk. I check fasting sugar level every week. My weekly fasting sugar readings are (recent first) in mg/dl: 10 aug = 264, 03 aug = 194, 27 july = 174, 20 july = 179, 13 july = 203, 06 july = 180 my question is why my sugar level have spiked to 264 mg/dl (74 points increase) on 10 aug. On 09 aug I eat rice + bananas + some coca cola. (rest of the week I only took foods of low glycemic index value). Could this be the reason of this spike of 74 points?
