But, the news isn't all good.
During the same time frame that diabetes complications were dropping, the rates of diabetes diagnoses were soaring. In 1990, 6.5 million Americans had diabetes. By 2010, that number was 20.7 million, according to the study authors.

Part of the reason for the rise in type 2 diabetes diagnoses is they have moved the goal posts.
Many years ago if your glucose fasting reading was above 140 you were considered a diabetic.
A few year ago the glucose reading was lowered to 120.
I don't know what reading they are using today but if it gets much lower most of the country will be considered type 2 diabetics. - tom

VERY GOOD POINT!

My reading was 130-135 so doc told me I am borderline.

So I figured I have 2 choices...
1. go on meds
2. improve my lifestyle

I chose #2 and 5 years later still require no meds!
Eliminated rice, white bread and pasta made from refined wheat. Only whole wheat or 7 grain breads now.

Minimum 1 mile walk everyday on treadmill set at 5deg incline.

Seems to be working.
