What fruits can a person with diabetes eat?
When the diagnosis of diabetes is made, from a nutritional point of view many people should keep in mind that not all carbohydrates are the same. As with fruits, natural and healthy foods, but whose choice should always be appropriate based on the glycemic index they have.
And is that depending on the glycemic index of foods, they tend to be or not suitable for regular consumption by people with diabetes.
Why? Fundamentally because those foods with high glycemic index cause a sudden increase in blood glucose levels, since they are digested very quickly. Therefore, the key is to choose foods with low glycemic index, since they are rich in fiber and also tend to satiate for longer.
