I don’t know about prior unfortunately as only tested when I was feeling unwell and my Dad suggested. I was feeling and still am very tired in the afternoons, headaches, shaky, needing the loo often, waking with sweats. Maybe it’s hormonal or medicine I’m on. This started just over a month ago. I always have porridge for breakfast, lunch is normally soup, jacket potato and beans or pasta and tomato/veggie sauce. I do eat things like meatballs with tomato and vegetable sauce and pasta, roast dinner, curry, pizza occasionally with homemade chips, stir fry’s, steak with roasted veg, it’s hard as I didn’t do a food diary.

That is an awful lot of high carb foods and certainly most people who are Type 2 diabetic would have very high blood glucose levels eating those foods.
As I suggested you could start to do some testing and start a food diary and see if anything ties up with your symptoms.
