Dear Mr.Marc,
The fact that you are losing weight is very good. Please don't get Frightened by the fluctuating sugar values. My personal Suggestion to you is to avoid all commercial drinks for a month, continue your exercise, continue to lose weight, check your blood sugars for appropriate dose adjustment. i am confident that you will do fine.
wishing the best for you!
