Fasting glucose 5 - 6 mmol

Well done? I'm not sure what you are asking for?
The Banting (Low Carb) diet is what a lot of us follow so we know it works..
 
Well done ....2 years on and no medication. :)

The tests show your fasting glucose is good, but you could still have impaired glucose tolerance. Two ways to test for IGT are by using a glucometer after meals, or the HbA1C.

I think that as a group, people who had hyperglycaemia but have reverted it, and are keeping watch, have lower risks than people who have low glucose for now, but who have a genetic burden and are not following the Banting lifestyle.

It would be good to get tested for complications occasionally (eg, retina exam every 2 or 3 years). Type 2 has a strong genetic component, ie, people inherit a predisposition to it. Some authors have mentioned evidence that among people who were prediab. or diab and reversed their glucose levels, there is still a higher incidence of complications for a few years.
