No, borderline Diabetes is termed prediabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. It indicates that your body, for whatever reason (most commonly insulin resistance or inadequate secretion of insulin) has elevated levels of glucose that does not qualify as "diabetic" levels. This may progress to diabetes in time, or the glucose levels may return to normal.

Is type 2 diabetes also known as pre-diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is not the same thing as pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes, or borderline diabetes, is a condition where the body either slows down insulin production or cannot correctly utilize insulin. Blood sugars are slightly elevated at times without taking any oral medication. This is usually associated with obesity and can usually be corrected with proper diet and exercise. If left untreated, pre-diabetes can become type 2 diabetes, which is basically a more severe form of pre-diabetes. With type 2, high blood sugars are usually treated with oral medication, or insulin injections if necessary. Your body does not produce enough insulin, nor does it use it correctly. This differs from type 1 diabetes, where the body does not produce insulin at all.
