[QUOTE="Rustytypin, post: 2225727, member: 344185"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=4]As far as I know I have only briefly been in the overweight category (for a few months about 6 years ago). Most of my life I have been quite slim. Four years ago I was diagnosed as "Glucose intolerant". Since then I have one HbA1c in the prediabetic range. Eating Keto for at least 18 months, carbs daily 20-25gm. I have been testing my BGs regularly. my current 30 day average before evening meal reading is 5.1 mmol, after meal (2hr) is 5.2. However, my average 30 day fasting is 6.5. This is bugging me as I have tried all-sorts to get this down. This has been the pattern for nearly four years. Of course I have no way of knowing if I have always had a high fasting level, it may be that some people just do. That could only be found out if everybody was tested on a regular basis throughout their lives. Can't see that happening. Two of my siblings are also flirting with higher BGs, although not Diabetic. It seems to me that TOFIs have greater difficulty with the fasting levels than someone who maybe started off with an A1c much higher and/or with a higher weight. Some of the results reported on here are quite phenomenal with A1cs plummeting from the 100s down to the 30s in a short space of time.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
