Hello @ellen307
I can imagine that this must have felt like a "rocky road" as you said. MG and diabetes represent difficult dual diagnoses. A blood sugar of 1800 is very high.
Are you now under the care of an endocrinologist? If not, please get a referral to one. An endocrinologist is the best doctor to see for a diabetes problem, especially given your two diagnoses.
It would be a good idea to ask for a referral to a registered dietician as well. They can help you with planning an eating plan to keep your blood sugar better controlled.
If you care to share more, what type of symptoms were you having prior to knowing you had Type II diabetes? Are you now taking oral medications or insulin?
