    No. Assuming you are in the US, your doctor should give you a referral to a dietitian or diabetes educator. We do have many threads on the subject. See: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10740620/prediabetes-and-optimal-myfitnesspal-settings

    Best succinct advice:

    Your medical team would be the ones to help you with this. While you're waiting to talk to them, I would go to Diabetes.org and use their recommendations.

    I have just been told I am on the low end of prediabetes and want to do all I can to stave off progressing to a diabetic state. Does anyone have a good grasp on what targets I should set on MyFitness pal in regards to sugar & carb targets? I'd appreciate any input.

    I can't speak to the best macro distribution, but if you are overweight, the single best thing you can do to reverse your status is to lose weight. Attaining a healthy weight and becoming more active is key. I am not a doctor but I have seen lots of posters here say they reversed their prediabetes just through those steps, without changing their macros. That's not to say a particular macro distribution won't help or at the least make it easier for you to eat the right amount of calories, mind you :smile: Good luck!
