Why Fruit?
I'm confused about the fruit issue. It seems a lot of people are encouraging other diabetics to eat fruit and it just seems to raise my bs. I'm fine when I eat protein, vegetables, and healthy fat, so why not avoid the fruit? Is there a health benefit I'm missing because of the near absence of fruit in my diet? I get the idea of eating fruit when you're having a sweet craving, as surely it's better than sugar, but why not avoid them both?
If vitamin c is the issue wouldn't it be safer to… read more
Fruit should be part of your five a day, it depends on how much you eat and what kind. As long as it’s not from a can with syrup, with natural juice or grape juice it’s ok. Pineapple mango not to much. It’s up to you to decide what’s best for you and your sugars, but remember wait two hours after eating it to do blood sugars. Happy new year let’s hope it’s a healthy one. Take care all...Chris
Hi Everyone, I suppose you've all heard of these diets that say do this it will reverse your diabetes, well my friends don't be fooled, say you and a friend who is not diabetic decide to go on it together, their blood sugars stay the same yours go down, you both say this is good its working. Then after a while your blood sugars have been good, your weights come down your really pleased with yourself, and think what the heck my bloods are good my weights good I'll just have that bun or cheesecake I've so longingly longed for. So you and your friend go for coffee and a cake, no harm in that until you take your bs and low and behold yours have gone right up, but hers have stayed the same, why, because all you have done is kept yours in check, so proving once a diabetic always a diabetic, hence stick to a sustainable healthy diet including all the food types in moderation, just remember portion size. Some of us need meds some only food control, but be warned as one day you'll need meds as well. Keep well and healthy....Chris.
I would see a professional. But if fruit isn’t good see your Dietition. Kathy

When you eat fruit, do not get ripe fruit 🍉 as the riper the 🍌 fruit the higher
the sugar, and honestly I do not like mushy bananas anymore.
Good Luck 😉 Kathy 🎄🍀
