200g carbs a day - is this too much to lower A1C?

I'm teetering on prediabetes and need to get my act together, so I came up with a new diet:

Breakfast:

Rolled oats, walnuts, chia seeds, wheat germ, milk, blueberries

Lunch:

Low-carb bread, hummus, alfalfa, cheese, an egg, protein shake (kefir milk, greek yoghurt, banana, protein powder, ground flax seeds)

Dinner:

Variety of veg (shallot, mushrooms, cabbage, broccoli, radishes, for example), quinoa, either fish or beans or tofu as protein

I added the carbs up on this and it seems I'm around 200, maybe alittle bit more with beans. There's tonnes of fiber (40g plus), and I don't consume any sugary stuff. Calories seem to be around 2150 if that's useful.

My diet before this was not trash. There was white pasta, nibbling on toast, and a treat on a sunday at the bakery, but that was it, so an A1C of 5.6 was a shock. I'm now back in the gym and exercising more (weights mostly for injuries and imbalances).

Do I need to lower my carbs further to achieve getting my A1C down, hopefully to 5.3 or 2?
