They must mostly live in the US NorthEast because EVERY senior I know in NY, CT, PA and WV has been diagnosed as pre-diabetic.
Having exhausted the market for diabetics, the CDC and Big Pharma are partnering to expand the number of folks who need their meds. I may be cynical but prove me wrong.
The greatest curse of diabetes is the likelihood of contracting crippling peripheral neuropathy. Reversing diabetes does not necessarily reverse neuropathy. So far, there is no known cure for this crippling disease.

Just like they did on BP.
On my last blood test, they put my A1c glucose at 5.8.
My doctor freaked out and gave me a presciption for MetFormin.
I looked up the score on WebMD. Below 6.5 is normal, 6.5-8.0 is prediabetes and over 8 is diabetes.
I plan on tossing the pills.
What are they teaching young doctors now? They seem to panic on everything.
There was an article on Freepers just a few days ago about statins causing diabetes. I MO many of the medicines that are dispensed to us increase
Blood sugar. Read carefully the side effects of each med prescription you take daily.
My doctor has been amazed about that for years. He thinks I am a freak. Well, I suspect I am a freak, but not for that reason.
In the last 5 years around the local Watering Hole ... those of us ol Farts that are still around drink Ultra-Lite and talk about Keto (aka No Sugar, Nothing White) diet.
Watched folks lose a foot, then another, then go blind and then go Broke while they spend 3 days a week at the Dialysis Center just months before they die in there 50’s or early 60’s.
Diabetes is rampant and completely Preventable and mostly Reversible with Diet Change.
I wish some cabal of true, honest brainiacs would develop a master “BS Handbook” that was constantly refined, a reference to cut through the BS on various things (like this). There is SO much information these days that it’s almost pointless trying to look for “the truth”.
This thread is helpful for this ONE thing. Thank you. What about the million OTHER things, though? Lol. We’re gonna die before we figure them out!
Many are rejecting that term “prediabetic.” Just having higher-than-normal blood sugar does not mean you will go on to have diabetes. It discourages people from changing their diet, if nothing else.
I had a problem with a medication and stopped taking it. Nothing happened. I felt the same as before.
I decided to drop my other two prescription medications. Nothing happened. I felt the same as before.
I developed a new symptom and went for a checkup. Hadn’t been taking prescription medications for about six months. The doctor was pissed that I hadn’t been taking the medications.
All my tests came out normal. When he called to tell me that, he sounded even more pissed than before.
LOL
Excerxise
This study pretty much confirms it.
