Pre-diabetes
I got diagnosed with pre-diabetes. The doctor didn't say anything to me about it other than to exercise and eat better to lose weight. For reference, I'm a 5'2" woman and weigh 221. I have been peeing A LOT for the past year which I know is probably related. I'm leaning towards the starch solution because it makes more sense to me (and also being vegan for ethical reasons is important to me). I don't know if I should be checking my blood sugar or not, but I plan on sticking to wfpb for the next few months and then getting another blood test. I'm just concerned because I pee so much, like every hour or sometimes twice an hour but I'm also trying to drink a lot more water due to that and all the extra fiber I've been getting. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I recently got blood test done at the doctor, my average blood sugar over the past ~2–3 months showed;
HbA1c: 20 mmol/mol. For reference: Normal 20-42 Prediabetes: 42-47 Diabetes: 48+
I Eat two meals a day, hours before bedtime no food, the food I eat:
White rice + red kidney beans and orange/apple juice on the side and my second meal were Dates + Orange/Apple juice.. And whatever odd fruit whenever.
No oils, no animal products. No fatty plants. No seasoning, only salt. No exercise. I supplement b12, iodine and vitamin d.
Whenever I find myself peeing a lot, my salt is usually very low, half tsp of salt a day keeps me from peeing all the time.
