Yep, the nurses comments makes even less sense, seeing that even by ADA standards you are borderline type 2.
How to Tell if You Have Pre-Diabetes - American Diabetes Association
Either way, I agree with Frank that it's a bit academic whether to consider oneself pre or type 2 at these kinds of levels: the official line is hardly a universal truth between one state or another, it's a matter of degrees. What is more, as Frank says, your actions over some months could improve your situation from where it is now. I wouldn't see a verdict of type 2 as set in stone at all, at this stage, I do feel that absolute threat hanging over your head. Especially, if you happen to have areas you can vastly improve, such as diet or weight, it could be very much uphill from here as far as having a healthy life.
