Dear sir i can understand your concern.
i am very sorry that you are having difficulty in controlling your blood sugars.
in my opinion you need slight insulin adjustment.
Then insulin what you are taking at lunch time will decide your sugars at before dinner,
So by slightly increasing the dose of insulin during your lunch time and also try to adjust the calories in lunch will help to control your sugar in a better way
i would like to know the diagnosis your health care provider made for his suggestion of removing Adrenal glands.
its difficult to survive with out Adrenal glands
