Use the 5-20 Rule
If the % DV is 5 or less then it is low in that nutrient, If the% DV is 20% or more then it is high in that nutrient. The %DV is based on a 2,000- calorie diet – your needs might be more or less than this.
The 5-20 Rule
“The general rule for sugar content is choose products with a sugar content of 5% or less of the daily requirement and avoid items in which the amount of sugar is 20% or more of the daily requirement,” Seymour says.
"The idea is, if [it's] 5% or less, then the food is generally low in that particular nutrient. If 20% or more, you can consider the food high [in the nutrient]," Banna says. "So that's just a quick way to glance at the label and know if a food contains a little bit or a lot."
Foods with 5 percent or less would be great choices, while it would be smart to limit foods with 20 percent or more. For nutrients you want to get enough of, such as fiber, vitamins A and C, calcium, and iron, look for foods with 20 percent or more of the Daily Value.
80% of your needs are being met by your partner, and you're figuring out the other 20% on your own. When the 80/20 rule is applied to infidelity, the theory is that when someone cheats, they're attracted to the 20% in someone else that they were missing from their partner.

Here's how it works: 5% Daily Value (DV) or less of a nutrient per serving means it's low. 20% Daily Value (DV) or more of a nutrient per serving means it's high. Aim for foods higher in dietary fiber, vitamin D, calcium, iron, and potassium. These nutrients are good for you!

Bananas can be OK for prediabetes. But they should be eaten in very limited quantities since they have a high glycemic load and may raise your blood glucose.
Drink Enough Water
Drinking enough water is crucial for overall health, but it's especially important for those with prediabetes. Staying hydrated can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. Aim for at least 8 cups of water per day.
Drink more water
