For a newly diagnosed patient with borderline type 2 diabetes, the initial steps should involve lifestyle modifications, particularly focusing on diet and exercise. Metformin can also be considered as a first-line medication to help control blood sugar levels. Insulin therapy is typically not necessary at this stage unless the patient has uncontrolled blood sugar levels or significant symptoms. Therefore, the best choice(s) would be both A (a focus on diet and exercise) and C (considering metformin).
