Hey, don't stress too much about it! My mom's doctor told her that fruits like apples, oranges, guava, and all kinds of berries are great. Just make sure to eat them whole, not as juice, and keep an eye on the portion size. Mangoes are sometimes allowed but very little, haan?

It's good to eat fruits, but for diabetics, some are better. Apples, oranges, guava, and berries are usually suggested. Eat in moderation. Doctor's advice is important here.

As a vegetarian who focuses on diet, I know fruits are tricky for diabetics. Low glycemic index fruits like berries (strawberries, blueberries), apples, pears, and citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruit) are generally recommended in controlled portions. Avoid fruit juices, always eat the whole fruit for fiber. Consulting a dietician is best for a personalized plan.

For diabetics, it's about choosing fruits that won't cause big sugar spikes. Think low glycemic index. Apples, pears, berries, and citrus fruits are usually safe bets. But please, don't overdo it with any fruit. Portion control is super important. And talk to a doctor, okay?

I've seen many people try different things. For fruits, generally, it's the ones that are not too sweet. Apples, guava, oranges, even some berries work for many. But every person's body is different, so what spikes one person's sugar might not affect another. It's really best to check with a doctor or a dietician to be safe. They can help you with specific foods.
