If you are diagnosed as pre-diabetic and you haven't had it I would suggest asking your doctor for an a1c test. From the American Diabetes Association site: "The A1C test measures your average blood glucose control for the past 2 to 3 months."
Very good advice, IMO. I took one at our local farmers market. It was $20, and required no fasting. The best analogy I saw about the A1C test is that it's like a candied apple. It measures the accumulation of sugar over a period of time. Also, from the results, you can establish your average glucose level over time.
