Welcome to the forum. Some modest changes to your diet should be sufficient. This link has good explanation and some meal plans and recipes for a low carbohydrate approach, there is still plenty you can eat as you will see. https://lowcarbfreshwell.com/

Welcome to the forum @Greens123
One of the biggest questions when trying to get to grips with your diabetes is often ‘what can I eat’ and while there are obvious things like cakes, biscuits, sweets and sugary drinks that you will want to cut out straight away, you might be surprised how much *all* carbohydrate affects your BG levels, including rice, pasta, potatoes, bread, pastry, grains, cereals and many fruits.
Being told you are at risk of diabetes can come as a shock, but it’s also something that can often be significantly improved with a few changes and adaptations. Try not to be disheartened about your prediabetes, many people on the forum later reflect that their diagnosis became a catalyst which prompted them to make positive changes towards a healthier and more active life. Perhaps changes that they had been intending to make for years.
Good luck, and let us know how you get on.
