Struggling with High Blood Sugar Levels

my blood sugar has been terrible. I am on byetta and invokana. my dr wants to save long term and short term insulin as last resort because she said it will hinder weight loss. taking both meds and even fasting my blood sugars are still high. running in the 200s and thats no food for 48 hrs. any suggestions?

Byetta has been ok but causes severe nausea invokanna has caused terrible yeast episodes. I am allergic to victoza and tried trulicity but my body doesnt metabolize the weekly shots right.

Drink water yes you will pee more but hopefully it will lower the sugars. I am in the same situation now waiting for a call on Monday about insulin and when I'm starting it, had a doctor call me and say my bloods were too high as well and not mu own doctor either he didn't know what he was on about 😢
