[QUOTE="John J, post: 109793, member: 22542"] Thanks for the responses. I had actually read that article and one or two others but wasn't sure if this was a "definitely" recognised medical condition.. Quote from article: "people with pre-diabetes can prevent the development of type 2 diabetes by making changes in their diet and increasing their level of physical activity. They may even be able to return their blood glucose levels to the normal range." From what I've learned so far many Type 2 diabetics can also do this although they still actually have the condition. So, is the main difference that Pre diabetics can reverse their condition completely? Then be able to relax and not worry so much as the full blown diabetics? That would seem a bit foolish to me.... As I say, I definitely have the real thing but don't feel any worse off(After the initial shock has worn off) than I would probably would have if I was a "pre-diabetic". Both groups seem to have been advised to follow the same advice but the long term risks for full blown Type 2s are obviously much greater. [/QUOTE]
