The Mayo Clinic—and advertisers on broadcast television of shows that appeal to middle-aged and older people—recommend that you get tested for pre-diabetes: a higher-than-normal level of blood sugar that’s not high enough to be considered Type 2 diabetes.
But why stop there? Why not get tested for pre-pre-diabetes: a slightly elevated level of blood sugar that’s not high enough to be considered pre-diabetes?
And you can’t be too careful. Better also get tested for pre-pre-pre-diabetes: a normal level of blood sugar that’s not high enough to be considered pre-pre-diabetes.
Something’s going to kill you, so it’s in your best interest to prepare beforehand. Consider the levels of hypertension; you’ve got your Normal, your Elevated, your Stage 1, Stage 2, and Severe. Maybe you’re “Normal,” and feeling good. Not so fast! Shouldn’t you make sure that you’re not pre-Elevated? A simple test, costing no more than the annual GDP of an emerging nation can ascertain whether that’s the case.
I don’t know about you, but I’m going all in on testing whether I’m pre-deceased. Sooner or later, I am going to be dead (and so are you), so I want to make sure (and you should, too) that I’m not experiencing a higher level of morality that’s not high enough to be considered deceased. Just want to make sure!
An average infant born in the United States in 2026 is projected to live to be approximately 79.5 years old, according to current projections on U.S. Life Expectancy. But who wants to be average? That same infant, who really wants to excel, can avail themselves of pre-natal testing, and even better, pre-pre-natal testing, and, in doing so, up their life expectancy to at least 80!
Better yet, they could have planned ahead and had their grandparents engage in pre-pre-pre natal testing and perhaps, if they were really lucky, could have thereby established that the surest way to avoid dying would never to have been born at all!
