Anyone here who has had symptoms before hitting pre diabetes’s numbers?
Since Feb. I have randomly been having increased hunger pangs, energy highs and lows throughout the days, sleepiness after meals, and some of what I believe is reactive hypoglycemia.
However my numbers are “ok”
A1C: 5.3
Fasting: 85
Fasting insulin: normal
HOMA IR: normal
The only oddity is that I did a DIY OGTT and saw a spike of 170 at the 30 min mark, though it was below 100 after an hour.
I’ve checked with accucheck after various meals and have seen up to 140. After a particularly heavy meal I was sitting at 120 for 3 hours, then dipped to 66.
I’m just wondering if these symptoms are the beginnings of a bad trend in my body’s blood sugar control ?
It’s hard to know what to do. I’m guessing a doctor wouldn’t give me the time of day. My BMI is just below 20, and I exercise, so I’m not really comfortable cutting a carbs.
