Best fruit to eat for blood sugar control

[Amity Island]

“Raspberries have one of the highest fiber contents of all berries, making them a great choice for blood sugar management and weight control,” Erin Palinski-Wade, CDE, author of the 2 Day Diabetes Diet, told Everydayhealth.

Diabetes: The best fruit for managing blood sugar levels - 'great choice' says expect

FRUIT sometimes gets a bad rap because it may contain high amounts of sugar. But some fruits are better than others, especially for people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

They are also my favourite fruit! I imagine blackberries will be very similar as they have the same sort of structure.... and just coming into season and I have a mass of them right outside my front door! Just need my apples to get a bit closer to picking and I can enjoy a little of my favourite fruit flavour combinations.

My favourite fruit too along with blackberries and strawberries, I eat a mixed bowl full every day, unfortunately, I have to take a container down the road a bit to collect blackberries when in season.

Wish I could go down the road to pick them but I agree those three are the tops

I love Raspberries and Blackberries not so fond of Strawberries but I am allergic to them all so to eat them I have to remove all seeds and bury in a bun or add to a healthy drink and remember to take my Fexofenadine!

The blackberries were very early this year, I was picking them in July - and they were very sweet.
All the fruits with berry in their common name are fairly low carb - blueberries are about the highest so I don't buy them except in a mixture as far under 10 percent carbs as I can find.
Unfortunately I find that the fibre content of a food is of little importance as my gut simply takes it as a challenge to its efficiency and rips out the carbs with much glee and some gurgling.

Don’t mention double cream, I haven’t had any for years, might treat myself one of these days.

Raspberries, yoghurt and a dollop of peanut for me every morning! I've got slightly addicted to it.

Ahh raspberries and strawberries...my favourites. A bowl of them every day. They're good for potassium too and phosphorus and flavour and texture!!! Low in carbs.

Unfortunately I really like bananas higher in carbs but even better for potassium, vitamins B9, C. So I have to restrict eating those sadly.

I find most fruits spike my blood glucose but I can tolerate quite a large portion of blueberries and usually have them with single cream. I'm on a low carb, high fat diet so the cream isn't an issue for me.

A big plus is that blueberries are usually on the supermarket shelves year round.
