[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 1987892"] More important than the glucose content is the fructose content. It silently contributes to increasing insulin resistance, or certainly slowing any return to sensitivity. Fruit does contain some useful micronutrients but nothing specific that you can’t also gain from elsewhere. Clearly it’s a choice you are free to make, but my personal view is that it’s an unnecessary hindrance to an insulin resistant diabetic. Berries are the best option. Bananas, particularly ripe ones, are prossibly the worst. In terms of diabetes management, tropical fruits are the perfect storm of glucose & fructose. Not dissimilar to sucrose in that regard (table sugar). [/QUOTE]
