Answers: 1) Yes, A Pre diabetic can ONE cup of red wine per week. It is, however, best to avoid that too. 2) Glucerna shake is good and can be a meal replacement option but for some people only. If you are taking good nutritious diet, even that is not of utmost requirement. 3) It is better to have a goal of METABOLICALLY FIT body than to just GAIN weight, so, continue doing regular exercise, eat healthy and do some tests routinely like that of thyroid ,HbA1C, creatinie, lipid profile, LFT etc. These test may reveal the reasons of your being under weight. Hope I could answer your query.

Prediabetes is condition when your Hba1C is more than 5.7 but less than 6.4% .Normally you should not have weight loss in this condition but if you have you have to look for other medical conditions like, thyroid dysfunction, tuberculosis. You can drink small quantity of red wine once a week. Glucerna shake can be taken by prediabetic but if you already have weight loss then first diagnose the cause reason for same with help of doctors.
