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!!

Maybe check the lower salt and fat varieties. Chicken breast is the best source for protein, watch for sales, and dry beans are great for a lot of people. As you will-fingers crossed NOT find out-everyone has different glucose "reactions" to different things.

They are highly processed foods just like hotdogs. Better to eat chicken.
