Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoKalsbeek" data-source="post: 2443275" data-attributes="member: 401801">A fasting blood sugar can be a bit deceptive. In the morning, your liver dumps some glucose to give you energy to start the day. Dawn Phenomenon happens to everyone, you don't have to be diabetic or prediabetic for that to occur. What matters more is what your blood sugars do after a meal, and the results you're quoting do not indicate any problem with insulin sensitivity/resistance. Also, you were relatively high for the other numbers you mentioned after pizza... Well, pizza is very carby, which makes blood sugars go up, and fatty, which means it takes longer for the spike to come down. So that they're 6,7 hours later would be normal. (I'd be seeing double digits if I ate the same, so you're doing wonderfully.)When there's T2 in the family you're wise to keep an eye on things, though an annual HbA1c through your GP might be a little more cost-effective at this point, as strips can be expensive. And though we can't diagnose one way or the other on here... You're perfectly fine. For which I offer my heartfelt congratulations! Should things change at any point though, you know where to find us. You're always welcome with questions, for yourself, your family members, whatever. We're right here. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
