The 42-47 "pre-diabetic range" means you likely already have developed the problem and the 48 or higher range just means its more definite.Eating "normally" kind of depends on when "normal" started.. more than 10,000 years ago pre grains and farming most of what is currently considered "normal" didn't even exist. With things like potatoes not arriving until 500 years ago so they definitely aren't normal and as for bananas... As implied above pre-diabetes is just less badly disregulated blood glucose than "proper" T2. Cured is one of those words that means different things to different people. By every diagnostic measure I am cured (apart from maybe mild insulin resistance).I however have no wish to put myself through hell again by eating carbohydrates.. why would I? I no longer really consider them as suitable food for humans.How much are the test strips? That would be my criteria for a machine.. Ideally I aim for 4-6 mmol/l at all times pre and post prandial and fasting.</blockquote>
