why are diabetics turned down for health insurance?

i had a fasting glucose test and my BS result was slightly elevated. since this is pre-diabetes will this be in my medical record and could this cause me to lose my insurance?
--------------------
Another factor (besides just testing strips/meter etc) is all the expenses that come with the many diabetics who don't manage their blood sugar and end up blind or needing amputations. It's very expensive later in life if not well-managed earlier. You cannot be dropped from your current health carrier and if you are, you can sue.
