BTW, even if you are diagnosed with glucose intolerance studies have shown that low dose diabetes medications (like metformin at 500 mg daily) will reduce your risk of progressing to full blown diabetes by about 30% or so. Of course weight loss and exercise is the ultimate cure, assuming it is type II.

Also, I agree that the term "borderline" diabetes is misleading. I try to use the term "pre-diabetes" or "glucose intolerance". Too many folks think that since it is "borderline" they don't have to do anything about it.
