Update September 2019 - HBa1c 43, still in prediabetic range, but have also lost 3 kilos since starting keto.
May 2019 - Diagnosed with T2 diabetes, subsequently told I am right on the cusp between prediabetes and T2. Either way, I need to get my blood sugar down from most recent reading of Hba1c 48. Just about to get to grips with testing.
