Fasting blood sugar

Diagnosed a little over 2 months ago at 7 a1c. My Dr wanted me to do lifestyle changes because I am very overweight then come back in 3 months and see where I'm at. I have went from 340lbs to 302. Changed my diet drastically and my morning fasting numbers were usually in the 115s area. Those started coming down a few weeks ago to about 100 to 110. Awesome! The last two days it's been 130. I am so beyond frustrated today because idk why it's back up higher than it has been since I started checking. I had one "cheat" piece of cake on Friday for a birthday that elevated me about 150 after dinner but even then my numbers went back to normal the last few days with the exception of my fasting. Could that be it? The fasting number is driving me absolutely mad. The only other thing I can think of is my birth control was out of whack so I just came off of a 9 day period....hormones maybe? I ran a bit higher during that but the fasting shot up when I came off...I am just feeling so defeated.

My numbers have been going down until this last week, I have been running higher. My period is out of whack and I started a week earlier than I should have. Anyone else notice blood sugar is higher around their time of the month or is this coincidence?
