Being a diabetic patient, what fruits can I have?

Many diabetic patients often ask the question of what fruits I can eat. This is most obvious question by many diabetics, because they do not know which they have to eat to control the diabetes. But it is terrible most of the people not interested in spending some time and do some research in the net. For those who really interested in finding the answer for this question, here I am presenting you a detailed article about this issue. Let we go straight to the point. The fruits you can eat are

Apple
Grapes
Kiwifruit
Pears
Apricots
Pomegranates
Blueberries

The above mentioned fruits contain good fiber content in it. Apple, Kiwifruit, Pears, Apricots and Pomegranates has 2.3%, 2.1%, 2.1%, 2.1%, 3.4% and 8.4% of fiber content. You may think that what is the relation among the fiber and diabetes is. Here it is, these fruits contain high fructose content. Fructose is the one form of sugar. Not every sugar can be processed by the insulin and metabolized by it. Fructose does not require the help of insulin. Mangoes and Guavas have the high fructose content in it. Other issue is the fructose to glucose ratio; it must be high and should be greater than 2.

There are also other benefits in apple. Raw apples are having the high amount of pectin in it. This adds the advantage of taking apple if you are a diabetic patient. This pectin improves the glycemic control in diabetics and reduces the insulin step in of up to 50%.


Grapes are one of the fruits that will be very useful in treating the diabetics. These grapes can reduce the weight in our body and helps us to reduce the insulin conflict. If it is taken in during the meals, it can reduce the insulin levels dramatically.

You need to know the how it can help in overall functioning of your body. But practically speaking there are many people who had eaten these fruits and got benefited from it. This is the natural way of controlling the diabetes. We have to accept the fact, there are some ill effects cannot be cured, but they can be controllable. Diabetes is one of the ill effects in your body that can be controllable by having more fruits. Nature gives the clear solution for diabetes than the normal drugs. But the thing is everyone have to follow it any cost to keep you healthy.
