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.

∙ 14y agoI have been studying type 1 diabetes mellitus for close to four years now and I have never heard it referred to as "insulin overload diabetes". I have heard it refered to as "juvenile diabetes", "juvenile onset diabetes", "insulin dependent diabetes mellitus", and just "type one diabetes mellitus". I might be forgetting a couple of names, but no, insulin overload diabetes is not another name for type one diabetes.
