can't get my blood sugar down

I went for my pre op blood work last week and my surgery is Sept. 4th. So the nurse called and said my sugar is 290 and needs to be down by the 4th or they will reschedule my surgery. UGHHH!!!! I am taking my meds and sugar is being so stubborn. Normally my meds work. I even increased the dosage. I do not want to go on insulin 3 weeks from my surgery. Maybe if I start the liquid diet a week early and do 3 weeks instead of 2 and add more exercise it will be down in time.

I'd be going low low carb high lean Protein and almost no fat, couple that with intense exercise and you can make it! Just don't bottom out :)

Eat several times throughout the day too. Don't go hours and hours without lean protein.
