I think from now on I'll never mention to others that I am prediabetic, as their response to this is "oh so you're not a REAL diabetic then"
I guess this is true to a certain degree but I treat it as a warning + have decided to change my lifestyle to hopefully prevent T2. My mum + brother didn't hv this warning or this chance to turn things around.
