HMM,Glucose reading?: Re you referring to the Glucose (Sugar) reading? Depending on your family history, weight, dietary habits, etc. you may be developing type 2 DM as 2 office visit with a fasting glucose reading over 126 can be diagnostic for Type 2 DM. Decrease carbs and sweets and follow-up with your Dr. for another reading in the near future.

Protein: In order to properly stabilize your blood sugar you must have about a gram of protein for about every 3 grams of carbohydrate and plenty of water every time that you eat or drink.
