Question

Answer 1

my doctor told me things like sour apples, lemon, limes, plum,s cherries, and berries when I was at risk of developing diabetes. Genrally avoid the real sweet fruits like banans and go for the less sweet like those mentioned.

also if you don't do the recommendations, at least look at the part about the glycemic index and that finely ground flour is more dangerous than sugars. Be sure if you drink juice to dilute it half and half with water. and definitely try the garlic and hopefully, the incurables program which is the top recommendation in the answer I have there.
also note stevia is a SAFE ow calorie sweeter for diabetics that is not only safe but heal improve diabetes.

I have to disagree with your doctor because fructose can't change back to glucose. Glucose first has to be converted to fructose before it is further metabolized into energy. So there's no need for fructose to be converted into glucose, only to be reconverted once again to fructose -- it's a biological waste of energy.
Your doctor also doesn't seem to know about the science of the glycemic index. Every type of food raises a person's blood sugar after he or she eats it, but to a specific degree. Some foods, like potatoes, white bread and candy, raise your blood sugar rapidly, while others, like most fruits and vegetables, cause just a steady and slow increase in blood sugar, because the glucose is entrapped in dietary fiber which is hard to digest. The harder something is harder to digest, the slower the rise in your blood sugar, and the better it is for you.
Case in point: An apple may have a glycemic index of 40 or so, but white bread could have an index of at least 50. The lower the glycemic index is for a given food, the slower your blood sugar will rise after eating it, and vice versa.
So, to answer your question, all fruits are okay. You can have a banana, an apple, some grapes. It's best to limit potatoes and stay away from white, refined breads. Stone-ground, multigrain, wheat breads are the best for your blood sugar. Moderation is key. If you've had a carb already, don't have another carb the same day.

Answer 5

Check at grocery store for canned fruit with Splenda . . yellow cling sliced peaches are 9 grams carbs per 1/2 cup . . perhaps a little less washed. 2 peach slices and 3 grapes in 1/2 cup of sugar-free jello isn't too excessive for a between meal snack.

Answer 6

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

Answer 7

Your doctor is obviously not an endocrinologist.
Just being a doctor doesn't mean you know anything about diabetes.

Please go find a good endo and sign up for a diabetes education class and meet with a dietitian for advice on creating a menu plan and carb counting.

Answer 8

Your doctor is right and wrong. You can have fruit, if you figure it into your daily diabetic diet just as you would any item such as a candy bar. Fruit is good for you. See www.diabeticdiets.com. Fruits are 10% vegetable as I recall. Ten grams carb/100 grams.
