Hi @udin
There are so many factors that can affect our fasting levels, most of which we have very little control over. Your levels of 120 - 130 (6.7 - 7.2) are not that unusual.
Have a look here, https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/th...e-with-some-chat.22272/page-3406#post-2589520 and you will see you are not alone.
After almost a decade of non diabetic levels and hba1c below 40 (5.8%) my Fasting level is rarely below
5.5 mmol (100) and can occasionally reach the high 6's (120).
I've come to just accept that's how it is and concentrate my efforts on keeping my levels in range after meals.
Hopefully someone who uses insulin will be along with some more useful advice and suggestions.
