Pre Diabetes is a stage before full blown Diabetic.  

You may also want to check what is your 3 month average Blood Sugar value - HbA1c.  That will also indicate your risk category.

Did the Doctor perform any other tests to determine whether you are type I or Type II.  Before jumping on any diet (of course Low Carb is the best diet for Diabetics) - you need to read additional materials to understand more on the medical condition since diabetes is a condition that we need to battle all through our life.

Read the Chapter 1 from Jack Challem - "Stop Pre Diabetes Now" book - available in his web site (http://www.thenutritionreporter.com/stopprediabetes/default.html) and get to know better on what additional tests that you may need your Dr to perform. Please note that some of the test your medical insurance may not for - be watch ful over there.

1. Apart from the above - you may want to consider doing the following:

• Educate Yourself on the disorder and the available paths
• o Read Dr Richard K Bernstein's Diabetes Solution Book (http://www.diabetes-normalsugars.com/)
• o Read www.mendosa.com and his blog
• o Read Dr Michael Eades blogs - www.proteinpower.com/drmike
• o Read Gretchen Becker's posts in Health Central
• A diet low in Carb will help you to
• o Lose Weight
• o Control Blood Sugar close to normal non-diabetic range
• o Cardio numbers (Triglycerides, HDL, LDL, VLDL and CPI) will be in the good or better range
• Buy a good Blood Glucose monitoring meter (1 touch ultra smart or Bionime Righttest 300) and check the BG before and after meal to make sure that you stay within range - 85 to 95 - 2 hours after the first bite.

Educating self is the key for the long term success. Diabetes is nothing but a nutritional disorder and as long one maintains the BG (Blood Glucose) between 85-90 - we can lead a normal lifestyle.

Let me know if you need any help.

All the best!!
