I'm not a dietorian, but I play one on the interweb.
This person ate nothing but bananas for 30 days. 20~ bananas a day

I monitored my blood sugar using a blood sugar testing device, the same kind diabetics may use. It showed no discernible spikes in blood sugar throughout the trial whatsoever — absolutely none. In fact, my blood sugar remained incredibly steady throughout the trial.
My highest blood sugar reading of the trial was 94, which is still medium-low. All that sweet fruit in my diet simply did not have any adverse effect on my blood sugar.
Eating this way gave my blood sugar more consistency than ever. I couldn’t spike my blood sugar on this diet if I tried. Even eating 19 bananas in one day made no difference.AlkalizingI measured my urine pH several times on the last day of the trial, and all the readings were between 7.4 and 8.0, very much on the alkaline side. Testing urine is less accurate than testing blood, but I see no cause for concern that this diet would be acidifying.
