It seems to me Mark, that your medication level is not correct. You might

ask your doc about another med to go along with your metformin.

Subject: for lunch I had.

one cup steamed of fresh zucchini and one cup of steamed summer squash with

one fourth cup of jalapenos. nothing to drink. my 2 hour reading was 141. I

know this is still to high, but dain if it hasn't been this low in a while!

my meal didn't have more then a total of 20 carbs by going with the carb

counter I got. does this mean I need to only eat 15 carbs at dinner and see

what the 2 hour reading is and hope it is under 120?

I'd give it more time. A reading in the 140 range is not all that bad,

especially considering where Mark's readings have been (based on his A1C).

And if you add a little activity, anything, you might see those numbers come

down closer to that magical 120. Try different foods, and note the ones that

seem to allow you to end up with lower numbers. Those are the foods that you

will want to eat more often.
