[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2042059, member: 94045"] I'm afraid that fruit is not a good choice for us. It contains a lot of fructose. Fructose is a sort of sugar that does not get digested in the ordinary way. It is dealt with by the liver, which it regards as toxic. (rather like it does with alcohol). It is converted to fat and stored round the liver. This does not help at all because a fatty liver means more insulin resistance. Insulin resistance means higher blood glucose levels. The safest fruits are strawberries and raspberries in small quantities (not a whole box full) and eaten with cream or full fat yogurt as part of a meal rather than a snack. An occasional small apple is usually OK, but tropical fruits such as bananas, oranges, grapes and all dried fruits and fruit juices are not a good idea. I agree that your best bet is to buy a meter.
