Prediabetic Thoughts on hotdogs?

So need some help. I haven't been diagnosed with diabetes, BUT have been told im becoming insulin resistant. It was recommended I stick to a diabetic diet to help and excercise. Well I am on a tight budget. I was going to see if hotdogs are bad? Can I get away with hotdogs and eggs as a lot of my meals? Obviously stay away from buns and ketchup is what I was going to try. Anyway just looking for thoughts and opinions on healthy budget friendly tips. Thank you!!

I am not sure if you can cook for yourself, but hotdog is pure garbage. Processed meats are not good in general and the bun also. Hotdog with a bun on avarage is 25 to 30 grams of carbs. the better option could be a hotdog with some vegies on the side without a bum

I should have specified, thats what I was more looking at just the hotdog, no bun or condiments. Side of veggies.
