Q What fruits are diabetics allowed to eat ?
It is a common myth that if you have diabetes you shouldnt eat certain foods because they are "too sweet." Some fruits do contain more sugar than others, but that doesnt mean you shouldnt eat them if you have diabetes. The total amount of carbohydrates affects blood sugar levels more than does the source of carbohydrates or whether the source is a starch or sugar.Eat a lot of non-starchy vegetables, beans, and fruits such as apples, pears, peaches, watermelon, pineapple, spaodilla(chikoo) and berries. Even tropical fruits like bananas, mangoes, and papayas tend to have a lower glycemic index than typical desserts.
