Question for T2 diabetics page

[Quinadal]

I've got it and was wondering if any of you can eat bananas or plantains without high BG?

[DiabetesCanKissMyButt]

Nope. High BG result and they make me hungrier.

[Quinadal]

Thanks. Is there any fruit besides berries that doesn't?

I've been T2 for at least 9 years. but I just didn't eat fruit. I'd LOVE to add some back in.

[DiabetesCanKissMyButt]

I keep it to (in order of preference and desirable readings):


Strawberries

Blueberries

Cherries

Apricots

Pears

Apples

Plums

Nectarines

Peaches


Off-limits:

Banana

Watermelon

Pineapple

Grapes

Mango

[Quinadal]

mmm cherries any certain variety you find is better for BG?

[DiabetesCanKissMyButt]

I haven't tested on the different varieties- good idea though. I usually just stick with the Bing cherries.

[Quinadal]

must go shopping tomorrow!

[PattySt]

Rainiers are awesome! They are the yellow ones. Don't know about the sugar content, but taste is superior to Bings (IMHO).

[Quinadal]

I love donut peaches mmm

I think they also call them saturn peaches.

everyone is different! some people can handle a big handful of strawberries with no problem, some people go through the roof if they so much as look at a grape.


know the facts and know yourself: test your blood sugar before and after eating different foods to see how they effect you.


it's irresponsible to say that certain fruits are okay while others are not; everyone is different.
