Rises and falls in blood glucose levels are perfectly normal and is the body's way of ensuring your muscles are well fuelled. You seem determined that you will have diabetes/high blood glucose, in the teeth of all the evidence, why?  You say you are fighting a losing battle when your A1c is low normal.  That's not losing. You say you are  going to control your anxiety by stopping testing, but you are clearly still testing and intending to get another A1c. lt is feeding your anxiety.  Another A1c test will simply show you what the last one did - an estimated average of the past three months. In your shoes I would be more concerned about dealing with the anxiety rather than fixating on a problem you do not have. You are not diabetic.  You are eating a low carb diet. You can IMO easily leave it a year before another A1c.</blockquote>
