Can Diabetics Eat Fruit?

I’ve heard this question more than a few times since becoming a diabetic myself. The similar – and connected – question is also often posed. Should diabetics eat fruit?

From the research I have done, and from my own experience, the short answer is YES.

That having been said, everybody is different. A lot depends on the fruit, when you eat it and the extent of your diabetes.

The close association between sugar intake and
diabetes has led to a few misconceptions about diabetics and their diet restrictions –particularly in relation to fruit.

Most diabetics can eat the pretty well same foods as those without the disease, but the question becomes how much and how often.

Diabetics can indeed eat fruit, and in fact are strongly encouraged to choose fruit over more processed foods high in sugars and other carbohydrates. Fruit contains natural fibre, vitamins, enzymes and other essential nutrients that diabetics need to maintain a normal lifestyle.
