New here, risk of diabetes

[6.14271.4]

Routine bloods have shown prediabetes. I am making lots of changes. Is alcoholol that bad, like my single malt! Any tips

Your single malt will be fine. Spirits are carb free. If anything alcohol will slightly reduce your blood sugar levels as the liver can't pump glucose into your blood stream while it's processing the alcohol.

Welcome to the forum. Do have a look around the site in particular the Learning Zone, but also this link may help you find a way forward on your dietary changes. https://lowcarbfreshwell.co.uk/
It is better to make changes gradually as it will be less likely to cause issues with your eyes or nerves.
Your HbA1C will inform you how much you need to do to reduce your level, pre diabetes will be 42-47mmol/mol so depending on where you are modest changes only may be needed.
