Had my yearly physical and found out I was pre-diabetic with a fasting glucose of 111. I bought a meter so I could keep track and try to lower it. So far my average is 104 now. I'm a 50 yr old male, 5'11", 175, work out with weights 4x a week and eat a vegetarian/fish only diet (pescetarian). My cholesterol was also high (244). Any ideas?

reduce/eliminate fast acting carbs/refined sugars.... breads, pasta (any thing with flour even whole) , potatoes (starchy veggies) . Limit most fruits and legumes. keep hydrated. It is my belief its not the fats that cause high lipids but carbs, as most low fat foods are high carb.
