I think most doctors follow a script based on ADA recommendations which don't kick in until your meet their guidelines for pre-diabetes. Wouldn't it be better to warn people before then to get the process stopped as quickly as possible? If someone's FBG or A1C is creeping up year after year, they need to understand what that means.
Doctors are not intervening and issuing warnings to patients as fast as they should, IMO. The statistics are sobering.
