So, for like the past week my bgs have been steadily increasing. Nothing much has changed with the way I'm doing things, but my levels keep getting higher. My fasting levels are getting to be back in the 160s and I have no clue why. I don't really want to say anything to my mom because she'll say I'm worrying about nothing, and I won't be able to talk to the doctor about it until after New Years, maybe after Christmas if I'm lucky.
