Medfags, please help me out.
I'm getting more than a little paranoid about my blood sugar. I fell on some hard times and lived on a shitty diet for the past two years, and my most recent blood test results put my glucose at 5.4 and my a1c at 5.2. Now I'm eating healthier and watching my diet more closely but I'm still worried that I've caused some kind of irreparable damage and tipped over the first domino for diabetes.
Does any of this sound normal to you?

Go get tested, that's the only real way to know.
If you've made a legitimate change, you can reverse the effects.

You should be fine. That is on the higher side for a fasting blood glucose level but you are still within the 5.5 range.
Type 2 diabetes IS reversible within a short time frame, which is why they now speak of "PRE-DIABETES." You may have been edging toward pre-diabetes, but sounds like you have taken effective measures to combat it.
What are your levels now?
