| I see a few different ways to slice and dice this topic. It's interesting to me that certain slices seem to be discussed much less often than others. Most I think have been at least touched on here on DF.
Here's one slice: Diagnosis doesn't matter because it doesn't matter if you have diabetes. Well, of course it matters in some ways - but in one important way it doesn't. I say that whether you have diabetes, or you're pre-diabetic, or just have a couple risk factors, or none of the above... eat right and exercise, keep working to improve lifestyle. It's just a shame that a Dx of diabetes is what it takes for many of us to get with the program. Following this advice better than I did could prevent or delay diabetes. Wouldn't that be better than diagnosis?
