On what basis was the diagnosis as pre-diabetic made?
Was it fasting Blood Glucose ~(FBG), or a glucose tolerance test (GTT)?, or was it by HbA1c?
To see why this is relevant, and why LC'ers are often falsely diagnosed as pre-diabetic, read this from Hyperlipid, (Petro/Peter Dobromylskyj).

Petro also has five other articles on "Physiological Insulin Resistance" which you can find by following alphabetically down the the list of articles on the right of the page.

This may answer your concerns.
