Are oranges good for diabetics?

Question

My cousin, who also has diabetes, told me that oranges are a good fruit option for us. I want to make sure I'm making the right choices for my health. Are oranges considered beneficial for diabetics?

Siddharth Sen · Accepted Answer

Yes, they are. Oranges have a low glycemic index of around 40 to 43, which means they release sugar slowly into your blood. Just eat the whole fruit and strictly avoid any packaged or fresh juices, as juice spikes sugar rapidly.

Suno, bilkul khao, par dhyan rakho ki din mein sirf ek hi santra khana hai. Uska juice banakar peene ki galti mat karna, pura phal chaba kar khao tabhi uska fayda milega.

Nature provides us with citrus fruits to keep our blood clean and healthy. Enjoy the orange as a gift of nature, stay positive, keep active, and everything will be in perfect harmony.

I panicked so much when my father was diagnosed and stopped giving him any fruits, including oranges, out of fear. But his doctor explained that the fiber in whole oranges actually helps manage sugar levels. He eats one regularly now and his levels are perfectly stable.

When I visited Max Hospital for my mother's diabetes consultation, the senior clinical dietician told us that one small orange a day is highly beneficial. However, please consult your doctor to understand how it fits into your specific daily carb limit.
