Message: <blockquote data-quote="badcat" data-source="post: 1583177">I used to eat a lot of fruit without any problems blood sugar wise  but  fruit apart from berries, gradually became a no no in terms of raising sugars and for last 10 years or so Im normally 40-50g carbs a day moderate fat moderate protein with limited fruit. For  the last 4 weeks or so before hols I was keeping cals around 900 cals  mark using a mix of shakes and 'normal' food whilst keeping on my normal meds (60mg Glic which Ive been on 20 years) and had lost 1/2 stoneUsually all fruit except up to about 50g berries sends my sugars ballisticOn hols ive been experimenting, keeping to same meds and  using shakes for 1-2 meals a day but upping my fruit intake significantly- the last 3 days Ive  have been eating a shedload of fruit but  my sugars have been v flat. Yesterday for instace I had 3 slices melon, 2 slices watermelon, an apple and a kiwi fruit at breakfast together with grilled veg (courgettes, aubergines and peppers) and cheese combo with a couple of milky coffees.  I then had an orange, another Kiwi fruit and another 1/2 apple at lunchtime and 2 shakes throught the day - sugars ranged between 5.6 and 7.2. Today I had the same for breakfast but swapped the apple for 3 slices of pineapple and had the apple mid day - sugars have been between 5.3 and 6.9. - most surprising but very welcomeThe only things that are different to normal are 1) 1/2 stone off 2) more active 3) shakes - Go figure!The hotel im in is up above an old town and Ive been going for walks along the coast and down to the old town ( steep hill) then up and down the streets in the town and back up the hill so I guess a good couple of hours walking  - if thats what it takes to enjoy fruit again, just pass me the walking boots!</blockquote>
