I think that (to put it politely) your GP is talking from his nether regions... But I think that - although maybe not relevant to you - his belief may be based on what has already been mentioned regarding strong drugs, lower HbA1cs and higher risk of hypos...
But I don't see that the difference between 38 and 39 matters a jot - your HbA1c is down within normal levels, which is all that matters in the long run. IMO (from my experience as Ms Bounce-About-A-Bit) an increase in numbers need only be a concern if they showed a continuing upward trend,
which you can't tell from just two very close results.
Whether you eat fruit or not and whether you're happy to exclude it (and/or any other food) in your long term eating choices, is entirely up to you and not your GP.
