My DN told me to limit fruit - berries are best, but absolutely no bananas or grapes under any circumstances

I find these visual guides useful https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/fruits

Yes, I tried a grape to see what would happen (note the singular) and it put me up to about 13. Never again.

Thank you for all your interesting thoughts on eating Fruit. This may be my biggest problem. So instead of fruit , what is a good alternative to taking fruit to work. ?

I take a boiled egg

Thank you for your thoughts on Fruit. A big lesson learned on here for me. At my last diabetic review the nurse asked what my basic diet was and she went through some foods to eat and still said fresh fruit. I’m glad Ive found this site and forum as it seems to be finally putting me on the right track. Thanks all.

Thanks. This is what I am thinking. I eat fruit during the week and I’m higher than weekends.
I think I’m going to reduce the intake and take from there.

Hi Paul, stick to berries rather than bananas, satsumas or apples. Berries are lower in sugars and shouldn't spike you to the high heavens, while you can still get the sweet taste. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries. Add a bit of double cream and you have instant dessert! (Adding the cream may slow absorption of the sugars too)

Thanks

Strawberries are good just not too many- I can have them in the mornings but not pm for some reason.

If you're interested in fiber content of fruits, blackberries and pears are high in fiber.

Remember that all the frit, and most veges have been bred to be higher in sugar and starch, so they are nothing like the ones found naturally - we'd have had to work a lot harder to accumulate the same amount of carbs by finding and picking it ourselves than to carry a punnet or net of modern fruit home from the supermarket.
