Well - I certainly wouldn't be constantly monitoring my T2D status on the basis of these results. I'd think more like a short-term continuous glucose monitoring trial to see how you respond to different foods. Or just pass on dessert more often.

I have to say, I'm confused. Either the test is useful at giving you a meaningful prediction of your risk of diabetes - in which case you should absolutely actively monitor the situation - or it's not If you wouldn't make medical decisions based on the test, what's the point?
