Pre-Diabetes means your blood sugar is above 100 and below 125) Not too long ago, diabetes was defined as a blood sugar level of over 140. recently (a few years ago) they refined that definition to being over 125. I guess the real message is keep an eye on your sugar levels and keep them below 100.
I was diagnosed pre-diabetic as well, as my sugar was running around 110-115. Adding exercise and watching the "white foods" as my doctor described the "bad" carbs (white bread, white rice, potatoes and sugar) did reduce it.
I bought a meter to use to meter to use to keep track of my sugar at home.
My doctor did in fact make the diet and exercise suggestion so I would either see another doctor for another opinion or specifically ask why this doctor did not prescribe diet and exercise for your particular case.
