Is fruit risky if you have diabetes?... How about these fruits with low sugar content?

Avocado= 

If you have diabetes, you should be cautious when consuming fats. However, not all fats are bad. Avocado is a unique fruit that naturally contains little sugar and does not affect blood sugar response. It is also rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are good for heart health. According to a study published in 2019 in Nutrients, breakfast including avocado resulted in reduced blood sugar and insulin responses compared to high-carbohydrate, low-fat meals.

Banana=

Bananas are known to be an unfavorable fruit for diabetics, but that's not always the case. Less ripe green bananas are a good source of resistant starch, which lowers blood sugar and improves insulin resistance. Fully ripe bananas have higher sugar content and have a greater impact on blood sugar, but they are rich in fiber, which helps with gut health and appetite control.

Mango=

Sweet and juicy mangoes that burst with juice when bitten are considered fruits that people with diabetes worry about. However, even these mangoes have their advantages. Mangoes provide 7% of the daily fiber requirement, helping to manage blood sugar levels. Fresh mangoes are more effective in increasing satiety and stabilizing blood sugar levels, and adding a small amount of mango to salads can create a healthy meal.

Orange=

Oranges are a sweet and tangy fruit that are often made into juice. However, due to their sugar content, they have a negative image and are a fruit that diabetics should be cautious of. Especially when consumed as juice, they can raise blood sugar levels more quickly than eating the fruit whole. If you want to eat oranges, it is recommended to eat them in their natural form rather than blended, so that you can consume the fiber in its intact state. The orange itself contains a lot of fiber in its peel, which can help promote a feeling of fullness and assist in blood sugar management.

Plum

Dried fruits are considered foods that diabetics should avoid because they contain concentrated sugars, which are consumed all at once. However, plums, when dried, contain no added sugars and are considered one of the dried fruits with the lowest sugar content. Plums are rich in fiber, which helps with gut health and blood sugar management, and also aids in maintaining bone density, making them beneficial for diabetics.

Watermelon=

Watermelon, which is sweet and considered a major summer fruit, has a high glycemic index of 72. Consuming fruits with a high glycemic index can cause blood sugar levels to rise quickly and leave the stomach feeling full sooner, so diabetics need to be especially cautious.
