There are a few ways of handling this. Personally I prefer prompting the user when they change the difficulty *while a game is in progress* if they would like to abandon the current game and start a new one with the new difficulty.

If they say no, you can keep the current game as is and either revert the difficulty change or save the new difficulty and apply it to the next game. You can see Killbots for an example of the latter.
