High HbA1C: I see that you are on Levemir (insulin detemir) which is a basal insulin. Perhaps you should discuss with the physician (p) who is ordering this for you what your options are. One option, is to use a short acting Insulin before each meal you eat to prevent your glucose from being high after you have a meal. See you p to get your hba1c under control, as it should be.
