Are apples ok for type 2 diabetes?

Question

With Type 2 diabetes, sometimes I crave something sweet, like a fruit. A friend told me that some fruits are better than others. Can I safely include apples in my daily diet?

Apples are a very budget-friendly fruit compared to expensive imported berries, and they are great for type 2 diabetes. However, always allocate some budget for a glucometer and strips to test how it affects your individual sugar levels. Knowing your numbers is the best investment.

My sleep schedule is so ruined that I don't even know if it is morning or night, but I do know my doctor told me apples are perfectly fine for my type 2 diabetes. Just eat the whole fruit, don't lazily juice it, and don't eat them at midnight like I sometimes do!

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last month and I am so scared of eating anything sweet now. I had a few apple slices today and felt extremely anxious afterward. Did anyone else feel this much fear about fruits initially?

According to my glucose monitoring app, eating a medium-sized red apple causes a very minimal rise in my blood sugar graph. The high fiber content really cushions the glycemic impact. It's a highly recommended snack for managing type 2 diabetes.
