Fruit Really Spiked My Blood Sugar

It doesn't take sugar out of your body.
It gets processed through the liver and muscles quicker with your natural level of produced insulin.
 
Are we splitting hairs cos my basic science says that if we exercise we breath in and pump round more oxygen and breath out CO2 and if we burn sugar which is a hydrocarbon, the main by products are H2O and CO2. So if we say oxidising is burning then we do burn the sugars even if it’s by a indirect circuitous route. Thanks for the link @Alexandra100. I’ll have a study, btw I enjoyed the rather brutal panorama
 
Oh wow, my pre diagnosis diet which included 5 fruits a day and and 2 or 3 pints of cider per day probably murdered my liver with its two pronged attack and probably caused insulin resistance according to the link up the thread from @Alexandra100

Yes, prior to my road to Damascus moment I could have been described as a fruitarian! I added in some protein and vegetables as a duty. Just be glad you found out: some people never do. One criticism of the Panorama report: no-one seemed to be urging these poor people to eat low carb.
 
I think I’ve arrived in Damascus, the food is dull and limited, I’m not allowed beer and cider or my beloved fruit but ..... I’m not hungry and eating all the time and I might live!

Believe me, when they are all there is, vegetables become appetising (providing they're covered in lashings of strong cheddar, grated or Hellman's Real mayonnaise, or even Maille Dijon mustard). And 100% cocoa chocolate starts to taste quite sweet, and double cream positively syrupy.
 
Eat vegetables to get your Vitamin C otherwise you need to have bolus insulin dose to counter the sugars in fruit (which varies depending on the type of fruit).
