Is it possible that your concern over diabetes is not justified and that you are really just a hypochondriac?
Hypochondriacs' Manual
Yes. But please consider the following.
Even if you are a hypochondriac, your life will last longer and your living will be healthier if you follow the same healthy life style that a prediabetic follows to avoid diabetes.
Don’t just worry. Follow the cure for this problem you think you might have, because the cure is the same cure for most of life’s problems: good food, moderation, physical activity and a good nights’ sleep. You can worry if you want to, but in this case, doing something about a problem when you don’t have the problem, will solve, prevent or delay real problems you might not even know you have.

Why not learn from the experts in behavior change to change your own behavior? Why let others pull your strings, when you can pull a few yourself and benefit more? You can.
You can make big changes a lot easier when you surround yourself with messages that will point to the right goals, keep you on track and keep you from quitting. You might not find many in your local store, because the average person would rather make excuses and laugh off their problems than overcome them. But you can find good materials online or make your own. Zazzle and similar sites have a lot of user designed T-shirts, coffee cups, posters and such.
Personally, I think nothing beats a plain old T-shirt with a saying on it for making a declaration of your independence from the land of losers. Coffee cups and posters are OK, but something that declares an idea and puts it out there in the universe for discussion and reaction is best. Make sure you eliminate jokes, excuses and anything demotivational you have around, including “friends” who Sabatouge your goals. Putting your goal out there in everyone’s face also helps you commit to it. Besides, we all need to buy clothes anyway. Why not get something that will sell yourself a better life, instead of buying something that advertises for some big company? Don’t profit them, profit yourself.

Don't go overboard on that High Protein Diet
Make protein a prominent part of your breakfast and other meals, but eat your complex carbs and veggies also. Cutting back on the carbs helps you lose fat, but eating protein exclusively is hard on the kidneys.
You don’t want to lose weight and lose your kidneys at the same time. Do it. But, don’t over do it.
