Pre-diabetic is basically a new made up medical phrase.
It just means your cholesterol isn't perfect but isn't high enough to have you taking pills forever.
It used to be a simple "You know these high numbers can lead to diabetes" from your doctor.
Now it's "Pre-Diabetic"
But don't worry.
They'll have a new expensive drug to combat Pre-Diabetes that we will be required to take every day for the rest of our lives in no time.
In typical Pharma fashion they'll be a catch like if you stop taking the pills the original symptoms will get much worse for a few months.
