The bottom line is that doctors don't have time to concern themselves with pre-pre-diabetics (almost pre-diabetic) and usually only treat people when levels may require medication.
It goes something like this: You go to your doctor today and get a FBS reading of 99. The doctor says you're perfectly normal - come back next year and if you're over 100 we'll start your medication.
People really have to treat themselves if they desire to be healthy. Most people on this forum say the politically correct "consult your doctor" whenever people query their readings. This type of advice and thinking won't get you very far with most doctors. People need to study and learn about the condition and possibly look for wholistic doctors that can help arrest the deterioration before it requires medication.
