I am prediabetic and have been since I was 15 years old. I drink no soda. Zilch. I mostly drink water, decaf tea and some fruit juices. Most of them are no sugar added or I cut it with water.

I stay away from eating large portions of white bread, corn, potatoes, etc. anything starchy. Although I’ve certainly done better than I’m currently doing (eaten out more lately) grilled or baked meats, not fried, and lots of green veggies. I love vegetables. If I snack I try to snack on protein. As far as sweets I eat no candy and rarely any dessert. If I do it’s a small portions and usually fruit instead of pie or cake. If it’s grape salad then I over do it.

This has done wonders for my blood sugar.
