FBG is a very good sign. Initially I got sub 5 values occasionally, but eventually got them every day.
It may be (let's hope) that you are insulin resistant (reversible) rather than diabetic.
 
Thanks. But this is after two days fasting. When I checked your previous posts no record of fasting. Did you ever do fasting to lower blood sugars?

No, I have never fasted. I find that it is incompatible with exercise.
Within 3 months of diagnosis though my FBG reduced from 14 to around 5. It took another 6 months to get down to around 4 where it is now.

What I meant is that your body is able (after fasting), to deal with the slug of glucose that your body releases into your bloodstream when you wake. Obviously the job is not yet complete but this is a very positive sign that your insulin resistance is decreasing, probably due to weight loss and exercise reducing the visceral fat around the liver and pancreas.
