My wife wasn't diagnosed from fasting tests, not until her doctor had her eat a piece of bread first. Her sugar was still fine but her insulin was thru the roof. I guess her diagnosis is insulin resistant, but I'm not sure where the line is. She has been able to control it with a combination of medication and diet for 3 years or so now. That doctor was a smart guy, he wasn't convinced by the first 2 tests that came back fine. Now my wife is feeling better and we have a 2 year old after 10 years of trying.
