When the doctors I know use the term "Pre Diabetic" they are usually also talking about someone that is overweight as the two generally go hand in hand.

Will power and dieting is what you need. On the way to school do not buy a soda and some chip and a cupcake other a candy. These things are causing you to gain weight, having a high blood sugar reason and feeling lethargic in school. At lunch time forget about the pizza. Eat the lunches the school prepares. They are well balanced meals and way better for you then several slices of pizza each day.

Get up earlier and eat breakfast at home. The fact that you have a school lunch program says you have a nutritionist somewhere in the school system. As to meet with this person and ask for help in proper meal planning to control your blood sugar and to bring down your weight. If you get your weight under control, control the amount or eliminate the junk food from your diet you will eliminate the blood sugar problem/

I'm not saying you cannot snack between meals. We all like to snack from time to time. There are much healthier snacks you can eat that will satisfy the between meal cravings. Eat an Apple, Carrot stick, Celery Stalk or a hand full of unsalted Peanuts. Gram Crackers make a good snack and they are low in calories and sugar.

Exercise more will also help. On nice morning or afternoons get off the subway a stop earlier and walk to school or home. Walking is an excellent exercise that anyone can do.

As for the urination problem; I would think that would clear on its own as you get your blood sugar under control. Until you do there may be some help with medicine your doctor can offer. Talk with your doctor about the problem and see what can be done to help you.
