High sugar level could lead to fatigue and infections. And, apparently, high levels, at least for prediabetes, begins with Glucose of 100 or more. 200 - bingo! You have diabetes.
The body mass index table on page 51 is an eye-opening bit of information. Drop 15 pounds and you will be better! Getting to chart values will require a concentrated effort. Then, there is diet and exercise... Read it yourself.
My particular interest in this book is that the author states diet and exercise can prevent type 2 diabetes. The connection cited between stress and pre-diabetes was truly frightening. And the drugs suggested to prevent and/or treat prediabetes/diabetes do, indeed, require the pill police.
I consider this an informative read worthy of your consideration

Good book. Slightly dated (2005) especially where discussing available medications. One problem: much too convinced that commercial weight loss programms work. Their own research shows that most of the weight that is lost at first, is regained.
