We're all different, so the best way to determine which fruits work for you is to try a serving, test 2 hrs after first bite and see how your blood sugar responds.

I find I can eat blueberries, strawberries, cherries in small amounts without a lot of problem, as well as cantaloupe, and some apples. Pineapple sends me quite high, as do grapes.

I think the mistake we often make is in thinking we can eat the fruit in the same quantities as we did prior to diagnosis...i've found no fruit that I can eat with abandon, like I did before diagnosis.

Generally, hubby and I will half an apple or banana.

Avoid juices unless you're low and trying to raise your blood sugar, as they are full of sugar.
