[QUOTE="Alison54321, post: 1834984, member: 472744"] I have T1D so I can bolus for fruit, and I do. I can understand why someone who is just controlled by diet might want to avoid it, but if it isn't causing blood sugar spikes there are very good reasons for eating it. People with diabetes often have quite low vitamin C levels, because the poor old vitamin C gets used up fighting the oxidative stress caused by high blood sugars. So this is where it gets complicated, but fruit is full of anti-oxidants, and because, mostly, we don't cook them, we don't lose the vitamin C that way, fruit is a good food choice. So it all depends on how much of a problem fruit is in terms of causing blood sugar spikes. Which is very much a cost benefit analysis that only an individual can make. [/QUOTE]
