One quick thing; I've read on other websites that the A1C isn't a tool to diagnose Diabetes (so how can it confirm pre-diabetes then?) It is more of tool to see how well a diagnosed Diabetic is managing their blood sugar. Some have said to not rely too heavily on the A1C for a diagnosis (I'm guessing that means for PRE-D people as well?)

If I'm pre-d then why are my after meal readings so "normal"? I haven't done many (just a few really) but they've all come out SOLIDLY normal.

Also, if I don't have a family history (except for my dad who may have got his due to binging on sugar and carbs for YEARS) then is it still considered genetic based on ONE case in several generations on both sides of the family?? My mother's Grandmother (I think) or great Aunt) had it, but that was it as far as we know.

I guess I'm trying to figure out if stress and injury could have caused a temporary high that had gone back to normal numbers now. Can that happen? I was under a great deal of daily pain for over three months with my femoral nerve in my right leg. Every day was excruciating (pain-wise) for about the time that was tested under the three month A1C average.

Now my leg is far less painful and I'm getting much more active plus I cut out most of the refined carbs I used to binge on. I'm hoping that the numbers will stay normal from now on.
