Cammie's absolutely right. I eat ANYTHING I want to. I simply limit my carbohydrates (that includes sugar, btw) to a reasonable level depending on how much Metformin I've taken and/or how much exercise I'm planning for later. Hell, yesterday morning, I ate a whole banana without taking any Metformin. It didn't spike my sugar at all. Imagine that!. FYI, a medium sized banana has a mere 110 calories (total), but boasts a whopping 440 mg of potassium. A large orange: 86 calories with 330 mg of potassium... wow. BTW, lack of naturally occurring postassium in fruits and vegetables has been shown to be a contributing factor in becoming insulin resistant (the precursor to type two diabetes). Eat a largely vegetable, fruit, and whole grain diet and watch those problems from diabetes minimize or go away. Who would have guessed that eating what our bodies were designed for could have such a beneficial effect?
So, to answer your question, there is no fruit that is not allowed. What shouldn't be allowed is listening to others tell you what you should and shouldn't eat. Here are some very helpful links that you should check out:

And my own page:

BTW, I just checked my blood sugar two hours after eating a ripe banana.... it was 110. So, there you have it, Marge!

Dear Elginkoh, I've had Type 1 for more than 42 years. I used to drink a glass of oj or some other fruit juice with my breakfast but no longer do that because juice causes the blood sugar to rise quickly. Now I drink oj when my blood sugar is LOW. A comment for the woman who said her husband eats (among fruits) a banana every day - I was devastated last week when talking to my doctor to learn that Diabetics should NOT eat bananas because they have too much sugar for the nuitritional value. I was devastated because bananas are my favorite! I felt deprived when I first got diabetes but when you looking at the Big Picture I have learned that one should eat to live rather than live to eat. There are just way too many awful complications for poorly controlled blood sugar levels.

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/diabetesrelief
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

People with diabetes can eat any food on this planet. I am not sure about other planets.
Count your carbs- as you always do, treat for the carbs and enjoy.
You may enjoy your favorite banana and yes, even dates.
Often about 3 servings of fruit are recommended per day.
Talk with your doctor and dietitian for specifics relating to you .

It's best to stay away from bananas ... it's too bad, because they have a lot of good qualities, nutritionally. Unfortunately, they are very HIGHLY glycemic, raising the blood sugar fast. I am not sure of others to avoid, I don't think any are as bad as bananas ... but in general, fruit juices are MUCH more glycemic than the fruits they come from, so go for the fruit and not the juice. Good luck!!
