Can T1D eat pineapple??

[niyathireme]

When can I possibly eat pineapple? Is it good like apples for T1D ?

@niyathireme Morning - there's no reason why you can't eat pineapple, just ensure you bolus for it due to the fructose content, haven't heard of any major benefits in eating it or apples, except if you like it then you should

Sure can, have a mini pot of pineapple in juice as part of my lunch, a nice 13g of carb so I dose for it as part and parcel of lunch.

Yummy!

Provided you bolus accordingly I don't see why not.

40g of pineapple is around 4g of carb.

40g of pineapple is around 4g of carb.

Asda and Morrison's stock individual 'pineapple sticks' in the fresh fruit isle and are just 10 carbs per stick

Hi,

I low carb and still manage to eat pineapple once or twice a week - I can't see the harm in moderation.
