Good question : Good question ... that can’t be answered on this site. Need to know how your sugar varies over the course of the day (x many days), body habitus (weight), hemoglobin A1C, renal function and eating habits Make an appointment with a Diabetologist (or Endocrinologist) to sort this all out
