Eating fruit is a delicious way to satisfy hunger and meet daily nutritional needs. However, most fruits contain sugar. This has raised questions about whether fruits are suitable for people who have diabetes.

REMEMBER
People with diabetes should eat processed foods sparingly or avoid them completely. The body absorbs processed fruits more rapidly, leading to higher blood sugar levels. Processing fruits also removes or reduces levels of certain key nutrients, including vitamins and fiber.

Low GI and GL fruits

Some fruits have a GI of under 55 and a GL under 10, including.
apples
avocados
bananas
berries
cherries
grapefruit
grapes
kiwi fruit
nectarines
orange
peaches
pears
plums
strawberries

A fruit with a GI of between 56 and 69 is considered to be a medium-GI food. All fruits listed below still have GL levels under 10.
honeydew melon
figs
papaya
pineapples

PLEASE AVOID

Fruits with a GI higher than 70 are high-GI and a GL of greater than 20 is high GL.

dates (high GL)

watermelon (low GL)

Thank you
