If FBG numbers can flucuate, how on earth can a Dr. make a diagnosis of "PRE-diabetes" from fasting numbers at a physical? What if I just went on a day where the numbers just happened to fall in the normal range or the abnormal range??

I'm beginning to think if the numbers can fluctuate between normal and abnormal then how can the medical profession truly nail down a diagnosis of pre-diabetes??
It's like a speeding car. Do you really know it's speeding if it's going 60 in a 55?

Diabetes is like going 75+. I was doing 220 at diagnosis. It was pretty ****ing clear.

I thought this would be helpful forum?? 65 views and not one reply??? Can anyone suggest a different forum maybe?
At 12:15am you only have the west coasters, who we all know are high on designer drugs at that time, and the Aussies, who are shutting down for the winter because they no longeer sweat all day.

Really, do you think anyone is going to pay much attention to a normal person on a forum like this? Puhleeeeease!

The bottom line is a human body is a wondeful and complex thing. Testing procedures are not exact and neither is diagnosis. Wait until you get into treatment...perhaps you are glimpsing our whacky lives just a little bit
