Correlation does not imply causation. You have no way of knowing if the prediabetes would have occurred had you continued drinking. I don't think that quitting alcohol can
cause prediabetes though, but I'm not a doctor.
I know that these health issues are very worrisome and I'm sorry you are going through this. I don't think that your sobriety means nothing. Changing your life takes courage, and you have done it by quitting. Not everything gets better right away for many. Is there even just one or two things in your life that you can say have improved, even slightly, since quitting?
