[QUOTE="Teabags, post: 566168, member: 113328"] I have been told by my doctor that I am prediabetes with a HbA1c level of 42.0 mmol/mol, last October when I was tested the level was lower at 39.0 mmol/mol. I am a 64 year old male vegetarian with none of the usual indicators that show a likelihood of contracting type 2 diabetes. (I am not overweight, have a low BMI of 21, eat a very healthy diet, fairly active, no family history of diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol levels are OK, also a non-smoker). But when I told the doctor that I eat 900 grams of fresh fruit a day, she said that was the reason of the high reading, adding that pineapple and all berries are high in fructose and should be avoided, she suggested apples and bananas as being good for lowering my diabetes risk. The types of fruit I eat are; pineapple, strawberries, kiwi, grapes, nectarines, raspberries, blueberries, plumbs and apricots. I have looked on various sites dealing with diabetes and there appears to be so much conflicting information that I have no idea what I should do. One site says berries are good, another no good, etc, etc. Can anyone please point me in the right direction, is it just a case of cutting down on the quantity of fruit I have, (I suppose 900 grams is fairly high),or should I only eat specific fruits? Any help would be really appreciated. [/QUOTE]
