1. Vegetables. Packed with powerhouse nutrients, vegetables are naturally low in calories, and they're full of fiber, so they're plenty filling. Loading your plate with vegetables will automatically mean you're eating fewer simple carbs (which raise blood sugar) and saturated fats (which increase insulin resistance). Aim to get four or five servings a day. (A serving is 1/2 cup canned or cooked vegetables or 1 cup raw vegetables.) Go easier on starchy vegetables -- including potatoes, corn, and peas -- which are higher in calories than other vegetables.

Pre-diabetic - eat a healthier diet and lose weight. Limit carbohydrates to correct serving sizes. I found that by adding more foods other than carbs I have been able to control my blood sugars and keep my weight down. Good luck!

There is widespread acknowledgement that carbs play a role in controlling blood glucose, but carbohydrate foods also contain nutrients (vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients) that can help to regulate appetite, blood sugar, and weight. The keys are: amount, form, and timing. Modest amounts of whole grains and whole fruits do not give high blood sugar. Replacing rice or potatoes with barley, legumes or sweet potatoes can help control prevent diabetes. Eating at regular intervals also helps.
