[QUOTE="DanW13, post: 2349373, member: 531379"] Think you just need to get an Hba1c to be 100% sure, if you can’t get one at your GPS, there’s always the private route, cost circa £150. Personally though post diet modifications you sound OK to me, think too much is made of the FBG issue, you say yourself you are below 5.5 when you wake, the subsequent increase is just your body revving up for the day ahead, which sounds natural & perfectly fine to me. The rest of your readings look okay also, I spike up to 8 every now and then post a more carb heavy meal & my HBa1c is 37. I believe non diabetic people spike sometimes also, there was a thread by a GP on Twitter who was non diabetic but spiked over 10 on several occasions when he had things like a coke or Macdonald’s meal.

My guess is you’ll come out at 35 or even lower which would be comfortably in the non diabetic zone. Then just stick with the low carb diet to make sure it doesn’t climb back up. All the best & good luck! [/QUOTE]
