The original poster has lost 6 stone and has managed to come off insulin, so she must be doing quite a bid right despite her worry about snacking on too much fruit. I would suggest that if she is testing regularly and her sugars are within the acceptable/healthy ranges before and after meals then perhaps she does not need to change that much. Perhaps change some fruit for raw nuts or raw vegetables such as cauliflower, cabbage, celery, kohlrabi or artichoke. However if the snacking is during work time it may not be as easy to have the vegetables as the fruit and nuts. Also try swapping fruit that are high in sugar such as melon and grapes for more diabetic friendly alternatives. Since living with diabetes is for the long run and we need to come up with diet plans that we can stick with, I see no reason for you to eliminate fruit from the diet as long as frequent testing shows that glucose levels are maintained within the healthy envelope.
