[QUOTE="Beating-My-Betes, post: 2457553, member: 532959"] Fruit is the best way for a diabetic to still keep sweet treats in their lives. It is packed with stuff to allow the body to deal with it in a manner that is completely different to refined sugar. How and how much of it you eat will depend on your own preference for carb-count and to how you interpret the various data that diabetics keep track of. Personally, I think that the best way to eat fruit is to treat it as a meal in and of itself i.e to substitute one of your meals for it. Breakfast is a great choice imo, as it's often one of the meals where people eat less quantity, and so you wouldn't need to stuff your face with the stuff. Moreover (and especially if you choose more water-rich fruits), it's a very hydrating way to start the day. Adding fat to the meal also seems to reduce associated spikes, albeit at the cost of lengthening the digestion time. Adding a small dollop of peanut butter and a sprinkle of seeds to chopped apples, might be one example. Or you might try making a chia pudding, infused with orange and apple bits.
