Diabetes I used to say that I could just tell what my blood sugar was when I was younger and for the longest time I was always really close , but then I stopped checking my blood for way too long . Now when I estimate I am off a lot of times . I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday to see if I can get testing strips on my insurance , and I am sure I will get a lecture about taking care of my diabetes . Honestly , that is why I hate going to the doctors ... My blood sugar was 300 this morning , I wish I could get control of it in the mornings .

Question: What may be the reason for their diabetes no longer being under control ?
Answer: They have gained a lot of weight .They ran out of their medicine .They are older and have n't been taking care of themselves .They ca n't afford their medicine .
