The sweet tropical fruits are just as bad...
Pineapple, mango, papaya, rambutan, Durian, longan, chikoo, caimito, star apple, custard apple, java plum, longkong, lanzones, red banana, dwarf banana, atis, guava etc.
Anyway I can have them all in the after life!
Lol!!!
Weetabix are very high in carbs, though as a T1 you may be able to compensate, but for many, though not all T2s they'll elevate BS considerably.I eat an apple and 3 weetbix (with peanut butter) for breakfast, makes a good meal in my opinion. If you wanted to try apple again, you could try doing some exercise either before or after breakfast to help with the spike.
You’re absolutely right.
Eating a fruit has to be accompanied with full fat cream or yogurt to slow down digestion and absorption.
Never eat fruit on its own.
But you’ve just said you ate an apple on its own for breakfast?
I did so it won’t happen again
Apologies, I’m confused. If you know that it’s best not to eat fruit without some fat, why did you eat it on its own?
I didn’t have a clue that it would spike me.
I used to eat a lot of fruit in my previous life but now being diabetic has made me realise I need to watch out for every piece of food on my plate!
But then you said that fruit should never be eaten on its own and gave advice to eat it with cream or yoghurt. If you knew that, why did you eat an apple on its own?
I think @NewTD2 is saying that he didnt know, so ate the naked fruit, but now he knows what spiked him and why, so he wont do it again, and is advising everyone else to not eat naked fruit either.I’ll leave it there then, I must be reading your posts incorrectly.
Yes but you're a T1 and can manage your carbs and glucodse levels with insulin, many T2s are diet controlled so have to manage theirs by avoiding high carb spikey foods. That's a huge difference in how we have to deal with these things...I eat an apple and 3 weetbix (with peanut butter) for breakfast, makes a good meal in my opinion.

I am doing something right then. I eat my berries of an evening with cream,never on their own and they do not spike me@NewTD2
The general advice is to eat fruit as part of a meal with cream or yogurt, and not as a stand alone snack. Also, fruit in the morning can be difficult. It is certainly a no-no for me. A pear may be just as bad as an apple. It is wise to stick to a couple of strawberries or half a dozen raspberries - but best later in the day.
Same here I ate a red apple around a month ago with cheese and I was fine alsoI can eat a small apple with cheese and salad for lunch with no spike, but if I eat one on its own during the evening, I get a higher than normal fasting BS the next day. Same with pears
