It's really diabetes: It's all one line, from normal through prediabetes to diabetes. The treatment is the same as diabetes: education, diet, exercise, weight loss, prevention and probably medication. Check w/the doctor.

Prediabetic diet.: The diet for prediabetes includes fiber (35 grams daily for females, 50 grams for men). Smaller more frequent meals is the rule as well. Eat five or six times daily, dividing the fiber amongst the meals evenly. Low fat, low cholesterol, rich in fruits and vegetables and lean protein sources. Supplementing cinnamon and chromium could help control the bloody sugars, too.
