• Diabetes - Fruits to Avoid

    From Mike Dippel@999:1/1 to All on Monday, March 31, 2025 10:50:30
    Diabetics should be mindful of their fruit choices due to the impact of carbohydrates and
    sugars on blood glucose levels. While fruits are generally healthy, some are higher in
    sugar and can cause spikes in blood sugar.

    Here are some fruits that diabetics may want to limit or avoid:

    Bananas: Higher in carbohydrates, especially when ripe.

    Grapes: Can be high in sugar; portion control is important.

    Cherries: Although they have antioxidants, they are also high in sugar.

    Mangoes: Very sweet and can lead to higher blood sugar levels.

    Pineapple: Contains a significant amount of sugar.

    Figs: High in sugar content, especially dried figs.

    Dates: Extremely high in sugar; best to consume in moderation.

    Watermelon: Although hydrating, it has a high glycemic index.

    It's important for diabetics to focus on lower-sugar fruits like berries (strawberries,
    blueberries, raspberries), apples, and pears, and to always consider portion sizes.
    Consulting with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian is advisable for
    personalized dietary recommendations.
