I do not have diabetes
I have been testing my bloods with my t1 daughter’s spare meter as I felt really ill after lunch. I have been having high readings ( 6.3 on fasting and rising to 11.3 90 minutes after eating). These readings are progressively getting higher. My hba1c result was only 35 though. Do you think my previous low carb diet and exercise could mask things?
 
I would suggest you do occasional testing 2 hours after a meal and if you see higher than 9'ish then you are possibly diabetic but LADAs will usually be much higher with poor control without meds and quite often slim due to fat burning.
 
I’ve been in the 9s 2 hour’s after food. I am 50 years of age and weigh 9 stone.
 
Bg was 12 an hour after lunch today
 
Roast pork, carrots, sprouts and gravy. No spuds.
 
I would go to the gp as a non urgent appointment with those readings. You are obviously concerned and though they don't seem too bad to me I'm not a doctor.
