Diabetes & Fruits: Good or Bad? 5 Fruits That Can Be a Boon for Diabetics

• Many diabetics are confused about fruit consumption due to sugar content; low Glycemic Index (GI) fruits are safe.
• Guava, a superfruit, is rich in fiber and Vitamin C, with a low GI; eat with peel for glucose balance.
• Apples, with their pectin-rich peel, slow sugar absorption and reduce insulin resistance; eat unpeeled.
• Papaya offers antioxidants like beta-carotene, reducing oxidative stress; consume 100-150g of moderately ripe papaya daily.
• Oranges, low in GI and high in Vitamin C, contain pectin for slow sugar absorption; prefer whole fruit over juice. Black figs and strawberries are also beneficial.
