[QUOTE="trotskyite, post: 522205, member: 67262"] My last OGTT was 5.5 after 2hrs and Hba1c was 37 (5.5). I have no idea if this is 100% true but perhaps I was hugely insulin resistant due to lugging around 30kg or so of fat around my middle and in my liver ( NAFLD), this increased fasting bloods to 6.5 - 7.5 this drove my diagnosis Hba1c to 7.1. Now most of that weight is lost (105kg to 78kg this morning). I was diagnosed with a routine blood test and was symptomless so I probably never had any major problem with insulin secretion? So my blood glucose is in the main normal(ish) and I would expect to have better readings now as it has been a year since my last test and I have lost another 5kg or so and become much more active. Also when I look back a snack for me may have been 3/4 bowls of honey nut cereal every night before bed approx 150-200g carbs , so it wasn't surprising blood glucose levels were bad.:facepalm: [/QUOTE]
