| I agree with Ronin but I take it one step further. I believe that the diagnosis is reckless at best. The year before my Dx, the nurse at my doctor's office told me that I was what they called pre-diabetic and to "watch my sugar". The way she said it made me think that there was nothing to worry about. Had I known what it really meant was that I was in the early stages of type 2, I might have reacted differently. I did not change a thing until the following year I had an a1c of 7.0 and a type 2 diagnosis. Could I have reversed it before I got to that point? Probably not but I could have delayed things a bit.
