[QUOTE="micksmixxx, post: 1355224, member: 7463"] Thank you for your response Bluetit1802, but I disagree with you about there not being such a thing as pre-diabetes. Doctors around the world diagnose pre-diabetes (formerly known as borderline diabetes) when a person's blood sugar (glucose) levels are higher than the 'normal' range, but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetic. On the same page that you offer a link to, if you scroll down the page a little it states: "[SIZE=5][B]Normal and diabetic blood sugar ranges [/B][/SIZE] For the majority of healthy individuals, normal blood sugar levels are as follows: [LIST] [*][B]Between[/B] 4.0 to 6.0 mmol/L (72 to 108 mg/dL) when fasting [*][B]Up to[/B] 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) 2 hours after eating [/LIST] For people with diabetes, blood sugar level targets are as follows: [LIST] [*][B]Before meals[/B]: 4 to 7 mmol/L for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes [*][B]After meals[/B]: under 9 mmol/L for people with type 1 diabetes and under 8.5mmol/L for people with type 2 diabetes" [/LIST] which is erroneous.
