Effects of Pre Diabetes

Since I was informed of being pre-diabetic, I have, via diet, been able to lower my blood sugar and HbA1C so that I am no longer in the range to be called pre diabetic. But, I have concerns…How often should I be checked? Can I developed side effects of Type 2, e.g. retinopathy, by being pre-diabetic? What should I be looking for that may suggest I am in trouble?
I am consistent with my diet and have even lost a little weight and I know exercise would help, too. I find this to be my biggest challenge.
