Diabetics Can Eat Oranges: Experts Reveal Key Rules for Safe Consumption

• Oranges have a low Glycemic Index (40-43), releasing glucose slowly due to their fiber content.
• Diabetics should consume whole oranges, not juice, as fiber removal in juice causes rapid blood sugar spikes.
• Individuals taking insulin, or those with kidney problems or GERD, should avoid oranges or consult a doctor.
• Oranges are rich in Vitamin C, folate, potassium, and flavonoid antioxidants, benefiting heart health and cholesterol.
• Eating oranges after a full meal can help manage their impact on blood sugar levels.

Why It Matters: Diabetics can consume whole oranges in moderation, but juice, insulin users, and kidney/GERD patients need caution.
