how much fruit can my husband eat?

Question

My husband has been eating more fruit lately- could this make his blood sugar raise? and which ones are the best for a diabetic to eat, and which are the worst? thanks- he just was diagnosed with type 2 three months ago.

Answer 1

Fruit that is high in sugar will spike your insulin. Some people even find that they crave breads,pasta, cakes and/or candy after eating a piece of sugary fruit such as a banana. I prefer fruits that are low in sugar such as strawberries, blueberries,raspberries,blackberries, cantalope. You will find that low carb fruits are among the most nutritious. Other fruits that are eaten like vegetables are zuchini, tomatoes,bell peppers,avocados and are very powerful in nutrients. Who needs an orange if they are eating bell peppers?

As of yet, I am not type 2 diabetic although I am fighting it. I am a member of a family where diabetes is genetic. I don't think that I have to expeerience diabetes or I can atleast slow its onset, if I am good.

Answer 2

Fruit does have natural sugars in it and it can cause your blood sugar to rise. It depends on what else he is eating that may contain carbs. On my diet I am allowed 17 servings of carbs per day so I could eat 17 servings of fruit per day if I wanted and didn't eat any other foods containing carbs. Unless he is also eating a lot of bread and pasta or other forms of carbs he can probably eat as much fruit as he wants. Maybe you should have him meet with a dietician.
