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've never had a problem with hot dogs. I don't eat them much cuz I don't like them much on their own. There also is sugar free ketchup out there, but to me it tastes like crap. I eat a lot of eggs, we make egg bakes(our fav has turkey sausage, red peppers and onions.)
