Don’t Be Fooled By the Terms Borderline Diabetes or Pre-diabetes

Just about ten or twenty years ago, you could be diagnosed as being “borderline diabetes” or “pre-diabetes”.
This gave a false level of reassurance. Treatment for diabetes usually wasn’t started, as it wasn’t thought of as being necessary, since you were still in a grace period. Then, the patient usually got worse.
Surprise, Surprise
Why did the patient get worse? Because there is no such condition as “borderline diabetes”. It’s like being pregnant – there is no such thing as being only a little bit pregnant. You are either pregnant or you are not. It’s the same with diabetes. You either have it or you don’t. There are no known symptoms or signs that point to you having “borderline diabetes”.
