Hi all,
Fairly newly diagnosed T2, and wondering exactly what my DSN might have meant by telling me not to eat "Too much" fruit
Pre-diagnosis I ate quite a lot of fruit, and drank pure fruit juices, a typical day would be 1/2 can of peaches/pears/pineapple and large glass of orange or grapefruit juice with breakfast, and then another 2-4 pieces as snacks through the day, apples, oranges, satsumas, peaches etc.
I'm guessing this might be too much now - especially the juice
I'm really not a fan of cooked green veg, and so always saw plenty of fruit as a good way of ensuring I got my 5 a day.
I don't currently have a BG meter, so a try and test approach isn't going to work for me right now, although I'm going to ask for one again at my next appointment
