as long as you calculate the extra carbs and correct them with exercise and insulin.
Also I'm just curios as why you can't eat apples with meals I have been diabetic for nearly 26 years and have never heard that one before. (sorry my spelling is not good ) | I said apple because its the only fruit I can eat but it actually applies to all fruit. The reason you should eat fruit before or after a meal is because fruit is digested in the small intestine and when you eat it with other foods the emptying from the stomach is delayed which causes indigestion gas and acid reflux.
