Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 He said that right I am borderline. My glucose tolerance test results were 116 which the doctor said isn't quite high to be considered diabetes, but he wanted to start the medication to control it before it got worse.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Hi Helen, There is no such thing as borderline diabetes. It is classed as Pre-diabetes. It concerns me that your doctor wants to put you on medications at this stage. I would suggest you see another doctor. At this stage, you should be looking more towards better food choices (small changes in eating habits) and exercise to control your blood sugars. I am not a professional but this site url will explain it in some detail. I hope this helps explain in better terms for you. http://www.diabetes.ca/Section_About/borderline.asp Don't let the url " borderline.asp " convince you other wise.
