Hello! I'm new to you

Hello, Im new here.  My name is Jennifer.  I have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes.  It was like "OH NO" at first, but then I was just like ok, so this is just another battle I have to overcome and WIN.  I'm not really sure what to eat, and I know that I will definately be looking for some recipies, and I know that I am suppose to stick my finger 2X a day, but other than that, it's beyond me.  Simple sugar is not good for me, but what about complex carbs?  That is ok, right?  In moderation?  I know that I am going to have to lose weight, and exercise but that part isn't the problem.  I am already walking each day.  Plus I have a lot of exercise videos.  I just want to make sure that I am around, at least till my daughter grows up.  I know that I can conquer this without meds, which I am determined to do.  Thanks for listening.   Jennifer
