| Hi Redrosy!
I tend to agree with both Helen and X-Menace that your numbers would tend to indicate that your are in the "normal" range. Your stated eating style also sounds like you have your best interests in mind when you do eat. Of course, exercise, is essential as exercise manitains our cellular sensitivty to insulin (Type-2 is charachterized as being primarilly Insulin Resistant -- i.e., your pancreas makes lots of insuln but your cells cannot/do not use it efficiently).
With Type-2 in your family history you are at some greater risk of potentially having diabetic problems but, for the monment, you probably do not have a problem as was indicated by your MD.
Keep doing what you are doing and add exercise if you are not doing that.
