The greater than 3 hr numbers (your 3+ hours) should be closer to your
FBG numbers because by 8 hrs, they will be your FBG numbers.
This indicates that your pancreas is having difficulty overcoming your
insulin resistance and comes closer only transiently when there is
GLP-1 coming from the stretching of your gut when you are full (no
longer hungry).
Only when we are hungry from eating less, down to the optimal amount,
does our bodies get rid of the bad "inside" fat (visceral adipose
tissue or VAT) that is causing the insulin resistance (IR/MetS):

Sad to read about this. Type-2 diabetes is not permanent for many who
have chosen to lose their bad "inside" fat (visceral adipose tissue or
VAT) by eating less, down to the optimal amount either by using the
2PD-OMER Approach or the invasive equivalent of bariatric surgery.

PCOS is the same as insulin resistance (IR/MetS).

It is the overeating (eating until full --> stomach stretched --> no
longer hungry) and not chocolate that causes VAT, which is the source
of pro-inflammatory cytokines leading to PCOS/IR/MetS.
The irrational compulsion to overeat comes from the world's great lie
that hunger is bad:

The increased levels of acetone (one of the ketones) that happens with
restricting carbs does trigger migraine headaches in many. The
increased stress of being in pain does elevate cortisol levels which
raises BG by increasing gluconeogenesis and insulin resistance.
It is well known that hyperketonemia results in increased lipid
peroxidation which can acutely worsen the endothelial dysfunction
behind migraine headaches.

Sorry, this is so full of factual errors that we need not bother
correcting them. Be at complete ease to ignore it.
"Only when we are hungry from eating less, down to the optimal amount,
does our bodies get rid of the bad "inside" fat (visceral adipose tissue
or VAT) that is causing the insulin resistance (IR/MetS):"
Insulin resistance has been shown to preceed any large increase in vat.
All people have vat, it is vital to good health. Hunger is not related
except in the most indirect and irrelevant manner. It is like saying
that sun rises cause sun burns.
This is only continued demonstration of ignorance of the literature in
this area. Sorry for the bluntness, but the truth is better in this
instance that others will not be misled by spurious and irrelevant
information.
Complete scientific support for my observations upon request. This in
contrast to requests for same ignored because of ignorance and/or fear
of being shown incorrect on an opinion.
God bless.

Nothing happens by accident when everything that world would attribute
to chance happens by GOD (Proverbs 16:33).

Since 1972 after I nearly flunked first grade...
... I prayed to HIM and asked that HE make me more intelligent...
... since then --> 4.0 GPA, skipped 5th grade, Governor's Honors,
STAR Student, Presidential Scholar (5 out of 2000 applicants), MSTP
scholarship (7 out of 5000 applicants), and one of only two out of
five MD/PhD candidates to successfully (the other three were not about
to clone their target genes) complete a rigorous dissertation program
in Molecular Genetics at Emory University.
All the praise and glory belongs to GOD, Who answers the prayers of
HIS brethren, in the holy and precious name of LORD Jesus Christ.

religion and faith that you obviously had for science. It too is a
discipline, amongst other things. Currently, you have the equivalent
knowledge of an infant. Shouting louder and louder doesn't mean you
understand something any better or clearer than anyone else. God obviously
gave you a brain. Use it in attempting to understand HIM. He doesn't mind.
He knows all the possibilities.

GOD remains the Source of all knowledge and wisdom.

GOD is infinitely more.

In the Holy Spirit, I know infinitely more than you could ever
possibly imagine.
HE is the Author of all reality including the infinite number of
alternate ones.
All praises and glory to LORD Almighty GOD now and forever :-)
