Prediabetic is effectively a state that looks bad, but you can’t tell how close a person actually is to having diabetes. It’s very vague and there’s still plenty of things to point at, but this newer indicator can now tell you that you just became diabetic or that you have six months before you are, for instance.

Are you a doctor? All my doctor did was look at my A1C. He also said that he could not even get a successful tri-glyceride test because my carbohydrates were so high. I was chain drinking Coca-Cola every day, kept a huge container of atomic fireballs on my desk at work and consumed bags of gummy bears because The Doctor at the time, Tom Baker, ate jelly babies. That plus the usual ice cream, cakes and cookies made the diagnosis a cinch as far as I could tell.

If you are wondering, right then, I stopped my excessive sugar intake. I read the labels and don't buy anything over 6 grams of sugar per serving. I'm well controlled with Metformin and Glimepiride and I've never had a problem at all.
