I was diagnosed T2 nearly 20 years ago based on my FBG levels. For most of the time since I have not tested but relied on my 6 monthly HbA1c tests which have bounced around 41- 48 (once) .
In the last 18 moths I have been testing and find that my FBG is frequently high. Rarely under 6 and quite often 7 or 8, clearly suggesting I am T2.
However, when I test after meals, I fail to record any numbers that would put me in the diabetic range. 90 mins - 2 hours after meals my BG is usually 5.5 - 6.5, even when I have consumed a high carb meal (which is rare). I have only once recorded a BG number over 10 and that was about an hour after eating something quite naughty.
I have tried to discuss this at my GP surgery but they don't seem interested.
Anyone got any insights ?
fwiw I am in my early 60's, active, slim and try to avoid carbs.
