| I've read recently that the post-prandial readings are the first to show elevation. For me, I had annual physical exams with fasting blood work that always showed "normal" blood sugars, one about 8 months before diagnosis....yet my A1C at diagnosis was 9.6 and looking back, I can now relate symptoms that make me think I had it a couple of years before diagnosis.
