[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 621329, member: 55568"] Type 2 diabetes is not as well understood as they would have you think. The difference between pre diabetes and diabetes is an arbitary number based on Mr or Mrs Average and a whole bunch of observations of people with different BMIs and on different diets. The one thing a newly diagnosed patient wuld benefit from is knowing what the level of damage is to your beta cell mass. They don't even measure that. It's just a blood glucose reading and there are a few reasons why it might be high. Without finding out why they are high, you get diagnosed as a diabetic. In reality though, it is not an on or off switch, despite what some HCPs state. [/QUOTE]
