However I recently came upon a fruit called a pomelo. This is a huge size like a large melon.  I consumed a fair amount of this over the course of a few day and suddenly realised that my blood sugars had dropped. To cut a long story short I researched and found the this fruit although semi sweet, is related to the grapefruit (also similar looking and tasting) In the course of this research I gained the info that grapefruit is GOOD for diabetics in reasonable amounts. It is GRAPEFRUITJUICE that is very bad when taken with statins. This is because a glass of juice (and this applies to all fruit) contains a very high concentration of the product which we diabetics should not have particularly when taking statins.  I will now be returning to my daily grapefruit both red and yellow.</p></blockquote><p></p>
