fleecylicious Jun 2014 9:27am, 10 Jun 2014 15,926 posts	Quote Pin fleecylicious To be fair, I'm not sure that diabetes is as clear-cut a diagnosis as, say, death or pregnancy. Categorical versus continuous variables.

Carpathius Jun 2014 9:29am, 10 Jun 2014 3,428 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius I suppose that's true. But I would say you either are diabetic, or you aren't. If you aren't, but are at high risk of developing it, then you still aren't. Yet, anyway.

(I need to read the study properly to see whether the increase is actually genuine or due to a change in the reference range, the study population, or some other significant parameter. But a blood sugar of 5.7-6.4mmol/l is not and never has been a disease.)
