For many years individuals asked if they were diabetic would reply “I’m borderline.” Borderline to them often gave a sense of security that there was a small problem but not too much of one. Borderline diabetes is now called Pre-diabetes and is recognized as something to take seriously.

The American Diabetes Association defines fasting blood sugar ranges for those who are not diabetic as 70-110. Diabetes can be diagnosed with two fasting blood sugars at 126 or greater.

Individuals with blood sugars between 111 and 125 are Pre-diabetic.
