I am going ask some questions of you, so that there is better understanding of your situation.If you did not have a previous HbA1c how were you diagnosed with T2?How long have you had T2?For how long were you neglecting your health and diet? Was it just for the three years you mention?As for your questions:The HbA1c test shows average blood glucose for the last three months, with the greater emphasis on the most recent few weeks. So you should be aware that your ‘looking after yourself’ since end of October will have the greatest , perhaps skewed , emphasis on these last few weeks.As for your insulin response to foods, use of a meter would give some insights, but you would need to record what you have eaten, and the corresponding blood glucose levels, immediately before, and 2 hours after. Possibly including a test after the first hour, too. Alternatively, a  Continuous Glucose Monitor system such as Libre, would give a clearer picture.</blockquote>
