Is This T2, Lada Or Nothing?

Hi,

My fasting blood glucose is mostly between 100 and 110. My two hour post meal bg never exceeded 140, it stays almost always below 120 even after eating lots of carby foods like pizza, ice-cream etc. I even checked one hour post meal and it was below 120. My most recent A1C was 5.1%. My problem is only in the fasting blood glucose, it just won't come down, sometimes it comes down to 95 but mostly stays in 100-110. This is making me worried a lot these days. 3 months back my fasting sugar was 85-90 when I was living a sedentary lifestyle. But then I adopted a very healthy lifestyle (and saw this increase in fasting sugar), I exercise always in the morning, do gym and running, I have become muscular and lost most of the little amount of fat that I had. My weight has been consistent at around 120 lbs and height is 170cm. Also my current diet is high in protein and vegetables , very low carbs, so I don't think carbs have any effect. For experiment, I switched to a very high carb diet and fasting sugar remains the same. However, if I eat something in the morning and go out for exercise, my blood sugar drops to 85-90 approximately 2 hours after eating which also includes an hour of exercise. I have no idea what's going on. My doctor isn't concerned. I read about LADA on the internet and it scared me out, I am thin, and LADA happens to thin people. I don't have any family history or any other medical condition. I am 20. Please someone tell me what's going on.

Thank you.

Not a doctor, and I had to convert your measurements, but from what I can tell? You're fine. We get a liver dump of glucose in the morning to give us energy to start the day. Your numbers are normal, far as I can see.

Hi, thanks for replying. All the numbers are in mg/dl. You can convert it to mmol/l by dividing by 18. So basically, my fasting is between 5.5 to 6.1 mmol/l. And 2hr post prandial is below 6.6 mmol/l.
I have heard of liver dumping blood glucose, but is it normal for it push the numbers in pre diabetic range for a non diabetic? And what happens to the fasting numbers in LADA?

I read that fasting above 100 is pre diabetic that's what motivated me to check again. No symptoms though. My doctor isn't worried, he says that a1c and after meal is more important than fasting. I only got scared when I read about LADA.

Thank you everyone from replying. I also thought the same way, maybe my body has adapted itself to exercise in the morning and raises blood sugar to provide fuel. I'll try to change my exercise routine to evening.
