You say you're not eating sweets which is good, but are you also watching your carbohydrate intake, like white flour, pasta, potatoes, etc? Be careful with anything "sugar free" because they often contain other sweeteners that can wreak havoc with your sugar levels. If you feel you are doing everything right, then you need to address this with your doctor to determine what else can be done to get this under control. I wish you all the best and take care.

First, you must realize that there is a huge difference in the treatment of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. For the type 2 diabetic, I also have read (from the Atkins people) that their diet is a good way to lower glucose levels. This is logical for the type 2 diabetic, for eating a fairly low-carbohydrate diet would not require the production of as much insulin by the already stressed pancreas.

While it is normal to have a rise in blood sugar level after a meal, excessive rise in blood sugar levels could indicate inappropriate dosage/ timing of injecting the insulin or excessive or inappropriate proportion of carbohydrate in diet. You could start by slightly lowering the carbohydrate and increasing the protein portion of diet. If this does not seem to help, I would suggest consulting your treating endocrinologist for adjustment in dosage/ timing of the insulin.
Hope this is helpful.
