Default Help me understand my blood glucose

My docs said that I'm not diabetic. What I learned elsewhere made me wonder. Due to growing up in a dysfunctional and abusive family I found food my only solace. I became a binge eater for most of my life. Lots of junk but really healthy foods too. Like I'd eat pounds of raw organic veggies each day along with the donuts and chips and with everything I'd eat until I was emotionally numb. (did not purge however).

That's the background in a nutshell.

Anyway I've always felt that there would be some dues to pay for such behaviors but even with years of therapy it was only slightly better so I did not stop often or for long. Anyway I'm sure there was plenty of glucose spiking going on even if my insulin still worked.

So I started monitoring myself at home with a Max glucose meter. My first readings while not scary made me wonder. Two hours after food I was around 150-60. That's prediabetic. My fasting glucose was around 140 which sucks IMO.

Fear sucks but lets appreciate its function as a motivator. I quickly quit binge eating and started eating five small meals a day that are all healthy food. Within a few days my numbers came down and the symptoms seemed to abate just a tad and I got cautiously excited.

So my Fasting numbers are now in the 84-90 range which is pretty solid and at two hours it's about 110. Stellar from what I know.

This makes me think I was wrong about the prediabetes. Or is there more to this story that I don't get yet? I'm just getting going on the sugar thing.

Can you help me understand this?

The docs and my search have yet to find a cause of my neuropathy. I have many suspicions but no certainties. I'm sure you can all relate to that.
