Bloods

Hi @Tazbo, without knowing your health conditions, medication and whether you ate anything or exercised at some point I am afraid I cannot give you a clear answer.

Diagnosed pre diabetic Xmas eve I'd taken first blood on rising then had shower and then breakfast of bacon sausage and eggs the only thing I didn't do was take my other meds till lateness i forgot I hadn't taken them
 
Thank you @Tazbo. From my experience as a diabetic, not as professional advice or opinion, so it sounds like you had no carbs at breakfast , so at the 2 hour mark when one expects the BSL rise form a meal with carbs to be highest (and that depends also on one's individual response etc) there is no added glucose there, just a fluctuation. However, up to 50% of the protein from your breakfast can be changed by the liver into glucose. And this might cause a slow BSL rise later than when you tested.
Perhaps try testing before next breakfast, have a similar meal and try re-testing at say 3 to 4 hours afterwards.
Best Wishes and hope that helps!!

Similar to me. I have had that happen. I think it's more being prediabetic.
Our systems haven't completely failed. Yet!
Personally I'd sooner it did not so have taken to a diabetic lifestyle and have had pretty normal numbers since.
You may have already helped your body start to deal with carbs and your insulin response is now capable of dealing with your diet.
I'm not saying your fixed. Just your helping your body cope with the problem.
 
I often have that kind of pattern. My liver likes to dump glucose overnight, I hear. Some people seem to have more trouble with fasting glucose, while others seem to have a worse time with glucose tolerance. I don't even have to eat (although I do b/c it makes me feel better); just getting up and moving about helps my #s come down in the morning. (This is a challenge when my actual waking #s are much higher than the fasting #s taken hours later at the lab!)

My problem is I have impaired glucose intolerance
 
If you are regularly waking with 7.2 fasting after not eating all night, it sounds as if you may have impaired fasting glucose as well.

What's that

The other half of prediabetes, I have both.
I was diagnosed with impaired fasting glucose with blood taken at the hospital of 6.3. I was then diagnosed with impaired glucose tolerence having a glucose tolerence test at the hospital where you drink a disgusting drink and they measure at one and two hours.

This is a great article explaining how blood glucose goes wrong https://www.bloodsugar101.com/how-blood-sugar-control-works
