Depends: What is your current height and weight? If your bmi or "body mass index" falls below 19......I would agree that you may have pushed too hard. See bmi chart. http://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/assessing/bmi/adult_bmi/english_bmi_calculator/bmi_calculator.html.

Fasting glucose 2 hours after waking up 98 mg/dL. Insulin 6.8 uiu/mL. C-peptide 1 ng/mL. A1c 5.0. Calculated Homa Ir myself and its 1.6. Limiting carbs since gestational diabetes in 2015. Is glucose that high a concern? Am I heading to prediabetes?

Fit 35yr, generally eat low carb/sugar, but not keto. Fasting blood glucose has been slightly above 100 on 2 consecutive tests (102 and 105) but A1c is only 4.4 (4.2 lower limit of reference range). Diabetes possible, or ruled out by A1c levels?
