actually my understanding (being a nurse and
working with diabetics as well as at times having
non diabetics on insulin drips) is that there is
no such beast as "pre-diabetes" terminology
anymore. You either are or are not, and the cut
off level is a LOT lower than in years past. I
think the goal is to get people in range a lot
earlier now.
