I had episodes of low blood sugar where I felt extremely poorly (finger prick reading of below 4, the lowest I noticed was 3). Diabetes type 2 running in family. I bought as well Libre 3 to monitor what is happening which indicated several spikes after meals between 11 up to 15 (some of them were doubled checked with finger prick readings).I am a bit confused about this statement when it comes to diagnosing diabetes:Random plasma glucose of 11.1 mmol/L or more in the presence of symptoms or signs of diabetes.So following this I would guess that I may have some symptoms. I consulted all graphs and findings and been told that these spikes are normal. Maybe I am too mathematical but how am I being told that 14 is fine while 11.1 is the boundary of normal?</blockquote>
