Certain apples higher blood sugars

[Jonathan CB]

I got some apples in to eat for a snack and whenever i eat one of these apples my blood sugars seem to sky rocket, Does anyone know if there any types of apples i should avoid

 

[noblehead]

No idea, the size of the apple will determine the bg spike, do you bolus for the fruit?

 

[Jonathan CB]

I'm only on novomix 30 twice a day

Probably best to avoid apples if they spike your bg badly.

 

[CarbsRok]

Different apples have different carb values so check which spike and which don't

And weigh them.

As a rough guide anything that says "Sweet" on the pack tends to send me up more (Jaz for example), I tend to stick to Braeburn, cox or golden delicious. I always have them at a time I'm having insulin though so you may find it a bit trickier...

Hi,
I live in Norfolk near Sandringham, and I buy apples from the Estate shop, they are grown especially
for Diabetics as they contain less sugar. When I am next over there I will note the name, as usual I have
forgotten ! No help I know, but I will find out !
