Discouraged
I'm off 4 shots a day since the day after surgery but haven't been able to get off the pills. I started back with the protein drinks and to me they are super sweet even the ready to mix . Just don't know I'm starting to get my protein through the food I eat. I'm trying one more drink after that it to the meals. The labels say 10- 14- 12 grams of sugar.
The hair have no change to grow with out the protein.
Good Luck
Oh After you drink a protein drink wait a while and take your sugar maybe they my help.

Frankly, when I moved to NC 5 years ago some silly Dr decided to change me from my 70/30 to Lantus, and my BS control went out the window. I went on NPH twice a day with Humalog sliding scale (rarely needed it), and have been well controlled ever since. After my surgery, I cut my NPH in half and have not used the Humalog at all.
Maybe discuss with your Dr different Insulin options available.
I have also found that sticking to lower glycemic foods make all the difference in managing BS.
Try testing before each meal and choosing one meal per day to test 2 hours after. This will give you an idea as to what your fasting baseline is and how well your body is metabolizing glucose after a meal. Choosing a different meal each day to test after eating will give you an idea of what your glucose needs are at different times of the day.
I don't know if you have a bedtime snack, but if your BS are very high first thing in the morning it may be something called Dawning Syndrome. If your last meal of the day is more that 8 or so hours until breakfast, your BS might be dropping while you sleep. If it gets too low, then your liver will start producing glucose to compensate. Unfortunately, it overproduces and your cells cannot process it all. Hence, when you wake up in the morning, your BS is high. Adding a protein-based snack before bed can sometimes help avoid this problem.
I don't know if this has been helpful or even applicable, but i wish you the best.
