However, they typically have a low glycemic index, meaning they have a smaller effect on blood sugar compared to other foods.

This is because fruits are high in fiber, making them a suitable choice for people with diabetes.

To minimize the impact of fruits on blood sugar, it’s beneficial for those with any type of diabetes to pair fruit with other foods or meals that are higher in protein or fat.

The fiber in fruit helps slow the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream.

Eating fruit on its own, especially between meals, may cause sugars to enter the bloodstream too quickly.

Pairing fruit with a healthy protein or fat can help mitigate this effect.

Consult with a doctor, dietitian, or diabetes educator to determine specific carbohydrate needs and learn how to incorporate fruits into your diet effectively while managing diabetes.
