Pre-diabetes is a scam, medicalizing what was only a half-decade ago considered normal, healthy levels. Just like everything else, constantly moving goal posts to bring you under control one way or the other.
If you eat 3+ meals a day and have what are sold as "carbohydrates" in every meal, you're probably insulin-resistant too, which is basically pre-diabetes. The GMOs and other "additives", as they have called them, are a big factor too
The goal-post-moving is what drives me batshit crazy. Cholesterol "goal posts" were somewhat higher numbers several decades ago...and Big Pharma has been insisting that they be adjusted downward to push those statins on the populace. My internist bugs me EVERY year to go on statins for my cholesterol, which is just over 200. No EFFING way. Ever.

They did this with blood pressure. Redefine what was considered “high” so that more people can be put on medication.

And they make the 'bad stuff' super cheap while hiking the costs of raw meats, etc. Corn in everything, GMO corn, added sugars, seed oils, etc.
