[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2112384, member: 401801"] Hi! A safe level range for prediabetes? I don't suppose there quite is one, but you could try to get your levels down to the normal range. I think that's kind of what you mean though? (Normal range is under 42, off the top of my head). What you're describing with 22 gramd of carbs is probably a ketogenic diet (Or, really, keto is 20 grams or under, if you want to be 100% sure you get into ketosis). Okay, sorry, never mind all the jargon. If you're prediabetic that means you have trouble processing carbs, which you have already found out with your research. Carbs turn to bloodsugar. And yes, banana's contain a lot of carbs. So do bread, rice, pasta, cereals, fruits, corn.... All stuff that you need to reduce or scrap alltogether if you want to get your bloodsugars under control without medication.
