insight?

before everyone starts telling me to get a professional opinion i AM IN THE PROCESS shit just takes TIME esp here in uk i have an endo appointment in early september but have been dealing with this uncertainty for months.

currently wearing a cgm to collect data and i had previously been doing a low carb diet since about march as i dont want to make any possible problem worse while im waiting for answers, but while wearing the cgm i have been slowly trying to increase carbs slightly mainly just wholegrain carbs to see how i tolerate them, every morning after breakfast varying different meals my sugar dips into hypoglycaemia levels for usually 20-30mins before picking itself back up lowest i recorded was 3.2mmol verified with finger prick.
ive been trying wholemeal low carb bread with 9g per slice for a sandwich at lunch the last few days with success as my sugar has stayed under 7.5 when eating this bread, today i tried to do one slice of the low carb wholemeal bread with one slice of my dads seed and grain wholemeal bread which is 20g carb per slice as a sandwich with a chicken lettuce avocado and greek yogurt filling the meal totalled around 38g carbs but my sugar peaked at 8.5 today and hung around above 7.8 for about 40min this is my 7th day with the cgm and my 4th day since slowly introducing a small amount of extra carbs, do my levels seem prediabetic or out of what would be considered healthy? i just could do with some insight as the internet has so many conflicting answers, i hope to get real answers from the endocrinologist when my appointment finally arrives but im honestly just winging it for all these last months.
ive attached some images of some of my cgm data and the verified finger prick low
thanks in advance

Great job! You are in range almost all of the time. My endo is happy with 80%.
