In the lines below I explain to you, as a friend over coffee, what each value means, where the alarm is and how to correct the course before serious problems arise.
🔍 What does each test actually measure?
HbA1c — key thresholds
🧪 OGTT — values at 0, 60 and 120 minutes
🛠️ How to “fix” your orange indications
- Progressive Flashing Post— starts with 16/8, increases to 18/6.
- 15 g of fiber at each meal— legumes, chia seeds, avocados.
- 30 min walking fast after the main meal— decreases the glycemic peak by ~25%.
- Chromium supplement + Ceylon cinnamon— supports insulin sensitivity.

If you have no symptoms at all, start with HbA1c (which is a good “mean meter”). OGTT you do it later, so you can see the dynamics in real time.
Yes. Chronic stress & little sleep can increase nighttime blood sugar, raising HbA1c even though you manage carbs well during the day.
You can “beat” the glorious OGTT, but the HbA1c gives you a blank: he sees the shaorma of the last 90 days, not just last night's one. 😉
