Q Please tell me the fruits to be avoided for diabetic patients?
Fruits that are high in fibre and low in natural sugar can be consumed freely. Watermelon, melon, muskmelon, apple, unripe banana, peach, guava, pomegranate, orange, sweetlime, papaya, cherry, plum etc are allowed freely. However, certain fruits are rich in sugar and fats and should be consumed in restricted amounts- chickoo, mango, custard apple, grapes, pears etc. In any case, fruits should be eaten on their own as a snack and not along with meals or after dinner.
