When you’ve been diagnosed with pre-diabetes, this is usually your very last chance to improve your lifestyle and switch to more healthy practices, before the condition develops into actual serious diabetes and starts getting in your way all the time. When you’ve come to this, the most important thing is to maintain your diet in order – knowing what the right pre-diabetes foods are is the most important thing, so know what you’re eating and consider your meal plans carefully.

Any serious sources of fats and sugars must go – if you can’t immediately switch to non-fat varieties for your foods, at least try to go with a low-fat option whenever possible, and keep toning down on the fat until you’re comfortable with foods completely free from it.

Lean meats should be preferred above all other kinds, and if they’ve got skin on them, get rid of it – it doesn’t contain anything useful and can only serve to harm you in your pre-diabetes condition. Beans make good pre-diabetes foods and you can use them as a base for quite a lot of dishes too, so try to include them in your diet as much as possible (though of course, try to vary things a bit too).
