Your figures don't seem to add up.
I'm always high when I wake up. Averaging 110 - 120. My readings after eating are much higher than yours with 1 hour post-prandial readings of 140 - 160 with 2 hour readings in the 110 - 120 region. I hardly ever test under 100, even after a long workout at the gym yet my HbA1c reading is lower than yours at 5.7% compared to your 6.2%. 6.2% converts to an average BG of 144 which is almost 20 above mine.
According to your figures, except for that short period before breakfast you're averaging 110 even after eating (and you're even showing figures under 100 after eating). If it is true that your readings are only high for a few hours day, you should have a much lower average BG level (HbA1c). Even when you woke up at 4am to take a reading it was still under 100.
Maybe one of us is the victim of a very inaccurate meter.
