The best answer to this one(and your HCP may not want to help on this) is to test the effect on your BG by testing before & after by a BG meter.I agree that moderate fruit intake beats snacking on crisps & sweets, but lowr carb fruit & nuts are better.Now that I have worked out the effects of various foods on me, I lead a good and varied diet of meats, low-carb fruits & vegetables. The hardest part was finding the hidden carbs in mass produced food and once I found low carb alternatives, it was easier.</blockquote>
