Did provider put you on medication or suggest life style changes first.

A dietitian is helpful to understand what food you should and should not eat. But I have found that I know what I should do, but knowing and doing are two different things.

How long takes to not be pre-diabetic is going to depend if you can make life style changes that lower A1C. Lose weight, move more, eat right food, stop smoking, stop drinking alcohol, take medication if prescribed.

For me it was Metformin and a referral to a dietitian, who suggested the Low Fat, High Carb ADA diet of the time (early 2000s).
I opted for Atkins and exercise at that time, lost 30 lb but found that version of low carb unsustainable for me.
