I was told I was "borderline" diabetic once, and I didn't do much about it.
Later I was told there was no "borderline", either you were or you werent.
I didnt correct my eating habits and now I take pills for it. The good news
is that most of us can control it with our diet. Count your carbs. As I
understand it, the normal person can have 300 a day. Diabetics have to
limit themselves to 150 (at least that is what my Doctor said about me). I
dont take medication as long as I limit my intake to 150 carbs a day, so
there is still hope for us.

Good luck. Dwayne
