Prediabetes diet

I was diagnosed prediabetic a few weeks ago and since then I have been doing some reading on the subject

I wanted to check and see if I had the understanding right of what one’s diet should be like

My understanding is,

get rid of any sugary drink ( juice pop, coffee shop drinks)

reduce (or completey get rid of) sweets/candy/deserts or anything high sugar really

Increase fiber, reduce white carbs

if you do have something sweet, you can help offset the damage by having fiber or protien with it

you can have something sugary as long as you keep your daily sugar under 25 grams for women

avoid eating late at night

reduce saturated fats

I also read that someone can have a something sweet “occasionally” but wasn’t sure what was meant by occasionally, weekly? or more like only on major holidays
