Being prediabetic myself... you have to watch what you eat. It can effect your health in so many bad ways, things you don't realise is linked and or caused by diabetes.
To fight it, it becomes a life-style change, not just a diet to loose some weight, but eating healthily and regular exercise for the rest of your life. That is what a life style change is.
