Recently diagnosed Impaired Glucose Intolerance - Looking for help

[mommy2rugrats]

Hello I'm a 31 year old mother of 2 small kids recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes and am scared out of my mind! I know this is better than actually having diabetes because I can possibly turn things around but don't really know where to start. I have to wait a month until I can be in a Diabetes group (pretty sad that they only have one a month).

I feel like I'm going to fail as I'm an emotional eater. I've started going to the gym as I know that will help but the food part scares me. I don't know if I can handle eating carrot sticks and celery sticks all the time. I can do fruit but I know a lot of fruits have a lot of natural sugar in them so I can't eat much

I feel so lost and scared
