I have been on a strict diet-low carb & high protein, regular exercise, 2 meals intermittent fasting (16 hour gap), no alcohol, etc for 2 months now. My readings for 7 days are as follows:
I think you are doing well! Keep doing what you are doing !
You can still do better if you bring your BMI to a healthy range of 20-24... by intermediate fasting , physical exercise and with whatever diet you are liking. ..
Different organisations use slightly differing levels before classifying a person's fasting blood glucose as "impaired", with the American Diabetes Association using a lower cutoff in its criteria than the World Health Organization. The upper limits remain the same, as fasting levels above this are almost universally accepted as indicative of full diabetes:
WHO criteria: fasting plasma glucose level from 6.1 mmol/l (110 mg/dL) to 6.9 mmol/l (125 mg/dL).
ADA criteria: fasting plasma glucose level from 5.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL) to 6.9 mmol/l (125 mg/dL).
Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is diagnosed with an oral glucose tolerance test. According to the criteria of the World Health Organization and the American Diabetes Association, impaired glucose tolerance is defined as:
two-hour glucose levels of 140 to 199 mg per dL (7.8 to 11.0 mmol/l) on the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. A patient is said to be under the condition of IGT when he/she has an intermediately raised glucose level after 2 hours, but less than the level that would qualify for type 2 diabetes mellitus. The fasting glucose may be either normal or mildly elevated.
You have got prediabetes taking into account both impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance.
