See below: You need to see your doctor and review your diabetic control. You may need to start an oral medication such as metformin.

Thank

diabetes: Apparently diet is not enough because glucose level is still about 200, beside diet and excercise, an oral medication is probably needed at this point; talk to your doctor about the headache.
