I was diagnosed with T2 last year, and started a CGM (Freestyle Libre 3) like you did. I started off with lists of foods I could eat, but the monitor let me see actual data on what was happening. Its not very accurate, but the absolute numbers don't matter as much as seeing the actual trend effect on my own body. I never let it go over 150, ever. I can eat some legumes in moderation, but your specific body may be different. I initially took Metformin, but discontinued. My last A1C was 5.1 and and endocrinologist I was consulting with put in his notes that my diabetes is "remission." So, if you're prediabetic, keep at what you're doing. I eat very little meat, btw, so while that might work for some people, its not strictly necessary.
