Hey, don't stress too much about eating fruits! Soursop has some sugar but it also has decent fiber, so a small portion shouldn't hurt. Just track your levels after eating it to see how your body reacts.

Soursop has a moderate glycemic index, so it can be eaten in small quantities. I always suggest having it during the daytime, preferably as a mid-morning snack, rather than late in the evening.

I was researching this fruit for my grandmother. Some studies suggest soursop might actually help lower blood sugar, but the evidence is still pretty limited. It is safer to keep the portions very small for now.

Honestly, I barely have energy to cut normal fruits, let alone find exotic soursop. If it is high in sugar, it might not be worth the effort and the extra grocery cost for a diabetic diet anyway.

I tried soursop last week and checked my sugar after two hours. It did cause a slight spike for me, so I'm planning to stick to safer fruits like papaya or guava from now on.

Actually, soursop is quite sweet, yaar. If you are diabetic, eating a whole fruit at once is definitely a bad idea. Just have a small slice occasionally to satisfy your craving.

Since I deal with insulin resistance, I have to be very careful with tropical fruits. Soursop has a unique nutrient profile, but it still has natural sugars. I'd say try a very small piece first and see how your body responds.
