Grapefruit smoothie I take is beneficial to my diabetes management and a good source of antioxidants especially Vit C. I also take Acabose 50mg tablet 3x daily which specifically handles blood glucose spikes. Eventually, the blood sugar is stabilised after 2hrs. I recommend it.

Rats are not humans. [emoji23] We eat varieties of foods and animal laboratory tests are NOT valid enough to set humans living standards. However, there is no scientific evidence that high fat diet is good for diabetics. Low fat diet, Low carb and omega 3 protein is what diabetic should take.

I cannot advice you fully now until your doctor makes a definitive diagnosis based on HbA1c test and gives recommendations. Meanwhile, check your BMI to be sure it is within the normal range for your weight and height.
