Ok, deep breath!
Look for an endocrinologist, I am not sure how your insurance deals with it you may need your doc to refer you to one, if your doc is hesitant, INSIST! He can not lawfully refuse to refer you to an endocrinologist.
Why an endocrinologist, you may think? An "Endo" specializes in this very thing while GPs are "shooting blind" more often than not when it comes to pre-diabetes or diabetes. An endo will be better prepared to deal with you as a patient, person and a pre-diabetic. He'll also have enough sense to not give you oral hypoglycemic drugs without a BG meter. he'll more than likely want you to meet with and take a class or two (or more as the case may be) with a CDE (Certified Diabetic Educator) to talk some TRUTHS about nutrition (Very important) tailored for YOU. Every diabetic is different, every pre-diabetic is different too!
Getting pi$$ed off, while normal, won't help, actually, it can and often will jack your blood sugars UP, which in turn will make you feel worse, and the problem feeds itself, grows bigger and becomes even more difficult to control.
Sound strategy -v- Anger parties
Anger parties are two or more people that will sympathize with you, it feels good to identify the problem, get mad, shout, yell and look for sacrificial lambs to punish. While theraputic in the sense that you are feeding the center of the brain that deals with who shall be assigned blame, but does nothing to resolve the root issue.
Sound strategy will deal with the root issue, after your BGs are better controlled, you can then work on the anger party and decide if it is a must to dent the dome of the GP. There are no shortage of diabetics that will cheerfully form a lynch mob to hate your goofball GP with you. My former GP, if brains were dynamite, he couldn't blow his nose. The meat-whistle kept me on metformin and a cocktail on other oral hypoglycemic drugs while my BG's were in the 400s and 500s for several years until I was re DX'd by an endo and treated with insulin. This may very well NOT be the case for YOU. Treatment's are as varied as you can imagine, which should encourage you. Regardless of what your treatment plan becomes, you will get answers, which is what you clearly want and need. Finally, you will be a PART of your treatment team, giving details about how you respond to each tool in the arsenal that will form your over all plan.
So, breathe easy, talk to others that are dealing with similiar issues, talk to other actual diabetics too, you will pick up bits of information that when compiled, will offer you more ideas into treatment and maybe even prevention of diabetes in your instance. Your mileage WILL vary.
