[QUOTE="Jamesuk9, post: 1365060, member: 370051"] There was a time when a diagnosis would have been made on the basis of 2 fasting levels over 7. A hbA1C of 6.1 is clearly indicative of a Prediabetes diagnosis too. Heavily influenced by high fasting numbers no doubt. I found the quickest fix for fasting numbers, esp if you have a good phase 2 insulin response would be a small carb snack, around 5g right before bed. My fasting numbers were around 6.7 prior to snacking before bed and are now stable at 4.8-5.5 after 8 hours sleep. If I go to bed without snacking I am always over 6 and if I don't eat as soon as I rise it will keep climbing until I do. A mini cheddar at under 2g carb is enough to stop my morning rise. A meter will give you a clearer understanding of what issues you have and how to fix then and get those numbers down. [/QUOTE]
