can you get a prescription of Glucophage and do a 2 weeks on each test and see what happens?
Not to say this is the way it is, but 6-7 yrs is what they (whoever they are)say is the average time for progression to insulin for T2's...so it could be the beginning of a downhill slide...Also, my understanding has been that fasting bg is the last part of the system to deteriorate and that it happens rather quickly, unlike the slow worsening of pp bg...
hope you can sort this out soon
