Hi. Sometimes my bg go to 7,5 and sometimes only to 5,5 after relative small meals.But If I eat a lot and with carbs it will go to almost 8. And yes I have had episodes of neurolepsi, painful eyes etc. after such large carb meals, so I now stick to very small low carb meals and are trying to do some weightloss. Fasting bg is about 4,4 to 5,2.
So am I prediabetic and what are the best things to stop or reverse beginning diabetes?
 
Hi. Those levels are very good and you are probably not yet pre-diabetes? Are you testing two hours after a main meal? Anything below 8.5 is acceptable within NICE guidelines. Your fasting levels are also very good. So, continue with a low'ish carb diet if that is acceptable to you as this will help with any weight loss needed as well as keeping any potential diabetes in the future at bay. At least you have a meter so can make random tests every week or so.
 
Your levels are better than mine. It is obvious to me that anyone eating a massive carb-loaded meal will experience such high levels.
What concerns me here is that if you are worried why not ask a doctor rather than a forum full of people not qualified to make a diagnosis. I am most envious of you BG readings!

Good luck. I hope you see a healthcare professional very soon.

Mart.
