What Diet Is Advisable For Pre Diabetic Condition?

Hi, I had a blood test done end of November. Dr. says I am prediabetes, However I am 5Ft 7 in tall and I weigh 120. I chase kids all day at Head Start: I also work part time at Macys. I basically eat fruits and vegs Someone told me I should try to add protein, like eggs. I do eat peanut butter and almond butter. I am unsure of what else to do to change my diet. What advise would you recommend? Thanks Cindy

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Principle of Dietary advice is that add fibre to food and cut simple carbs. Avoids too much oily/fatty food, no junk foods, don't reheat or overheat the cooking oil. So Veggies with fibres and yes protein you must have at1-2g/kg body weight ( unless there is any other indication for extra requirement/restrictions). Exercise it seems you are doing it. atleast half an hour to 45mins of brisk walk 5days in a week. Hope it helped you to get a broad idea.
