Hi @bigladneast Being pre-diabetic doesn't necessarily mean you will eventually become diabetic. You can take action to avoid it.
I wish I had been told when I was pre-diabetic, and what it meant, and had taken action then.
As for the beer, we do call it liquid bread because of the carbs. I was drinking 3-4 pints of bitter almost every night, and eating pub meals in the year before I was diagnosed. Now I drink mainly red wine, though I do have 3-4 pints a couple of times a year when I meet mates in a pub. One night on the beer occasionally shouldn't affect your overall bgs too much
