Can you eat fruit with diabetes? Fruit is often seen to contain lots of sugar and carbs, so many people are afraid to eat them. You may have even noticed your blood sugars getting high when you snack on an orange. So, what’s the truth on this?

But since you’ll be eating more carbs like fruits and whole grains, won’t that make your glucose levels go ‘through the roof’ and worsen your diabetes? If that’s what you’re worried about, let’s talk about it. In this episode, I’ll show you that yes, you CAN have your fruit and eat it…and research is showing that there can even be benefits to your blood sugars by including them in your meals.
