Eat fruit the right way
Whole fruits with fiber are okay for diabetes when you choose low glycemic index options and keep portions sensible; fruit juice and dried fruits raise glucose faster, so go easy there. Aim for whole fruit and pair with protein or nuts.​

Guava
Why it helps: Very low glycemic index and high fiber slow sugar absorption and support steady post meal readings; eat with skin when tolerated. One small guava or half a large guava works for most plans.​

Apple
Why it helps: Apples are low glycemic and rich in soluble fiber which slows glucose release; a small apple is usually one carbohydrate choice of about 15 grams. Eat whole, not juiced, for better control.​
