Well, I already figured I wasn't in the normal range.
I was wondering about the numbers for "pre-diabetic"
vs. diabetic.
Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always have
"pre-diabetes" -- blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not
yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. There are 41 million people in
the United States, ages 40 to 74, who have pre-diabetes. Recent research has
shown that some long-term damage to the body, especially the heart and
circulatory system, may already be occurring during pre-diabetes.
Research has also shown that if you take action to manage your blood glucose
when you have pre-diabetes, you can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes from
ever developing. Together with the National Institute of Diabetes and
Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the American Diabetes Association published a
Position Statement on "The Prevention or Delay of Type 2 Diabetes" to help
guide health care professionals in treating their patients with
pre-diabetes.
There is a lot you can do yourself to know your risks for pre-diabetes and
to take action to prevent diabetes if you have, or are at risk for,
pre-diabetes. The American Diabetes Association has a wealth of resources
for people with diabetes. People with pre-diabetes can expect to benefit
from much of the same advice for good nutrition and physical activity. The
links on this page are cornerstones of successful management of
pre-diabetes.
much more here.

if Bob the moderator is the best the ADA is willing to give those diabetics
that end up on their message board... it is an insult to all diabetics. how
about letting a real doctor defend your beliefs instead of spammers selling
books.
