Diabetes, really?

I am sure that my diagnositc tests showed a diabetic profile, but my multi daily monitoring shows no sign of it.. unless I don't understand something.  When i go to bed, my readings are usually 80-100 range... same when I wake up, usually about 10 points lower than when I went to bed. My before meal readings have been ranging between 60 and 99, and my after meal readings (2 hour after) have been ranging 80 (lowest) and 147 (highest..high carb lunch) .. but usually between 90-120.  I have even seen my blood sugar drop after a meal (2 hours after oatmeal with nuts and raisins no sugar).. which is a familiar situation for me as a lifelong hypoglycemic.  Do you all think that I really am diabetic  since  my test showed that...?  Are my readings normal for a type 2 diabetic?

You say you're sure your tests (plural) showed a diabetic profile, then you say my test (singular) showed that... And, then you say you're a lifelong hypoglycemic. Tell us what these test(s) are. The word "usually" indicates your home test results are not always in the normal range which makes you a diabetic.

Hypoglycemia (Low Blood sugar) is a form of Diabetes.  The other Form is Hyperglycemia (High Blood sugar).  So yes you are Diabetic.
