Detecting hidden glucose issues

I am in the same boat. Drinking 75g of Grape juice, I hit 135 within 1 hour then went down to 90 after 2 hours.

Did the same test with 3 slices of Pizza and a coke, hit 170 in 30 minutes! then 148 in hour 1 and 143 in hour 2, 108 in hour 3.

I definitely diagnosing myself as Predibetic. Don't care what my doctor says. (he says I'm fine cuz my FG is 97)

I think most doctors follow a script based on ADA recommendations which don't kick in until your meet their guidelines for pre-diabetes. Wouldn't it be better to warn people before then to get the process stopped as quickly as possible? If someone's FBG or A1C is creeping up year after year, they need to understand what that means.

Doctors are not intervening and issuing warnings to patients as fast as they should, IMO. The statistics are sobering.
