Thanks for the link, the author's views cohere with mine and are similar to Dr. Bernstein's.
I believe the following quote is quite important,

The data here suggest strongly that truly normal people--people whose fasting blood sugar is close to 82 mg/dl and whose 2-h result on an OGTT is closer to 90 than 140 probably don't become diabetic. Those whose blood sugars are higher than this true "normal" do even though the current diagnostic standard embraced by the American Diabetes Association tells them they are normal. They may go on for many years showing only slight changes from year to year, but eventually they suddenly hit a critical point where their blood sugar control suddenly deteriorates very swiftly.
