Prediabetes is something that with some modest changes can be given the boot.

Welcome to the forum @Jollygilly

We’ve had quite a few members who have joined having been told they are at risk of diabetes, who have been able to make some modest and sustainable tweaks to their menu and lifestyle and have successfully steered away from the diabetes diagnosis line.

Some make slightly more significant changes, and have seen fairly significant weight loss, and improvement in other health conditions they have lived with for some time.

Just tell your S W consultant that you are at risk of diabetes so they can give you a program which is less focused on carbs as their normal program may be too high carb. But I'm sure there will be some lower carb substitutions you can make
