Go Low carb.
I had high blood glucose/prediabetes. Started Atkins (or as it is now known Atkins20) three months ago. Within a couple of days my Blood Glucose levels were in a normal range. (Still a bit high for a ketosis diet but normal.) My triglycerides and LDL levels dropped down to normal ranges, after three months. My HDL levels still need to go up, but working on those. I also dropped 4 inches off my waistline and 40 pounds. I feel like I have more energy and feel better in general.
Exercise probably also plays a part as I try to get in a couple of 10k step walks a week or ride the stationary bike for half an hour. I also do resistance lifting. They are latex surgical tubes with handles, and work pretty well. Woot has a couple of kits on sale if anyone is interested.
