which fruits can be consumed by persons suffering from diabetis ?

Question

Some peple say mango,banana,dates,custard apple,sapota are not to be eaten by diabetic patients.

Answer 1

I have diabetes, and have been told by a dietician in the hospital to eat a fruit 6 times a day. Fruit with breakfast, 10 am, noon, 2 pm dinner, and snack before bedtime. Only one banana a day, higher sugar. Apples and pears are great. Mangos are ok in smaller quantities. These are natural sugars, a little harder to digest. These fruits take away hunger and are lower in calories than items we eat with sugar in them such as cookies, cakes, candy and all those bad things. I have lost 70 lbs by doing this over a period of time (250 down to 180) My diabetis went away (after being at 460) for 7 years after losing to 224. It has come back because I cheated too much, but it is back to normal with medication only. I eat fruit, when I get a craving. It really works. The dietician was very accurate. Best advice I have ever been given.

Answer 5

All fruits can be eaten by a diabetic patient. Just know the carb count for YOU. Then, adjust your insulin accordingly. A diabetic can it just like a non-diabetic. You just have to watch your carb counts. Fast burning carbs are not good for you, but you can have them. (These are candies, cakes, processed sugar products). Slow buring carbs are best for you. (These are potatoes, pastas, dairy products, fresh fruits). There are no foods that you cannot eat. Just like non-diabetics, you should keep an eye on ALL the foods you eat. Here is a good book for you to check out. The CalorieKing Calorie, Fat & Carbohydrate Counter 2007 Edition . My daughter has an earlier edition, but it's great! You can get updates from their website, too. www.calorieking.com Hope this helps!

Answer 6

Guava and Syzgium Jambolinum can be taken when you are on allopathic meds. They actually help.

But I feel any fruit can be taken by a Diabetic patient if restraint is exercised. As a rule, fruits must be taken on an empty stomach ( ie three and a half hours after a solid meal or in the morning). The fruit does not add to the stmach's load as it is pre (tree) digested!. This can be verified. Take a banana in empty stomach in the morning after brushing. Aloow half an hour and put two fingers in your throat to stimulate vomitting. Nothing will come up. The fruit has passed into the intestine! The diabetics, if they take fruits on an empty stomach, will not face any raise in blood sugar levels.

Answer 7

That is a very good question. Many fruits are very high in natural sugar(natural carbohydrates), so look to fruits that are not very high in sugas naturally, although being Diabetic, you should keep orange juice in your fridge just in case you become hypoglycemic.
Get a good book on natural food for Diabetics from the Internet or at your local bookstore.
Good luck

AVOID THESE FOODS

Below is a list of foods to avoid. Some will be obvious – others less so.


Sugar and artificial sweeteners, including honey. The only allowed sweetener is stevia. (Sugar is a problem as it is addictive. I suggest you cut down gradually until you can do without. The other option is to go 'cold turkey' and stop it altogether. This will give you withdrawal symptoms, just like stopping any other addictive drug. But this will wear off within about two weeks.)

Sweets and chocolates, including so-called sugar-free types. (If you want a chocolate treat, say once a week, then eat Continental dark chocolate with 70% or more cocoa solids, not the British stuff where sugar is the first named ingredient.)


Foods which contain significant proportions of things whose ingredients end in -ol or -ose as these are sugars (the only exception is cellulose, which is a form of dietary fibre)

"Diet" and "sugar-free" foods (except sugar-free jelly)


Grains and foods made from them: wheat, rye, barley, corn, rice, bread, pasta, pastry, cakes, biscuits, pies, tarts, breakfast cereals, et cetera.


Starchy vegetables: potatoes and parsnips in particular; and go easy with beet, carrots, peas, beans, et cetera and packets of mixed vegetables which might contain them

Beans with the exception of runner beans


Milk (except in small quantities)

Sweetened, fruit and low-fat yogurts

Cottage cheese (except in small amounts)


Beware of commercially packaged foods such as TV dinners, "lean" or "light" in particular, and fast foods, snack foods and "health foods".


Fruit juices, as these are much higher in carbs than fresh fruit. (If you like fruit juices as a drink, dilute about 1 part fruit juice with 2-4 parts water.)

Answer 10

Most diabetics can have peaches, pears, fruit cocktail in the can in water NOT syrup, and other milder fruits. The ones you listed are high in natural sugar, and some have pectin.

Watch out for peas and corn too. Peas turn into a starch and corn into sugar.
