Ask your doctor: If you had been diagnosed with diabetes your doctor should have told you. The insurance company may just be sending out educational materials to all enrolled. Consult with your physician for a definitive answer.

Not necessarily: A blood test is required to diagnose diabetes and your physician would have ordered one or at least someone who ordered one should have notified you if it was abnormal. If you weren't tested then there is no diabetes diagnosed.

Probably not: Hi. They might just be doing a public service type announcement about diabetes. If you tested positive for diabetes, I can't imagine your PCP wouldn't have told you! I suggest you contact your PCP to make sure, but without specific data, don't read too much into that pamphlet! Eat healthily and exercise regularly FOR LIFE!
