Diabetologist,  's  Response
There is nothing called BORDERLINE DIABETES. As far as your sugars are concerned you can be a Non-Diabetic or Prediabetic or Diabetic. The best way to confirm this is by doing a GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test). This test will exactly point out the diagnosis. If at all you are a prediabetic you can prevent/postpone diabetes by altering your diet, going for regular exercise and losing weight. Strong family history is a very important risk factor for diabetes. So please do not delay and get the GTT done.
Hoping to see your reports soon.
Please do not hesitate to get back for any queries.
