Can a person with diabetes eat natural sugar from fruits?

Let's put it this way... I've had type two diabetes for over six years. I was taking medication for it and it kept getting worse. I began to do some research. I found that I was deficient in certain nutrients found in abundance in fruits, like potassium. Since increasing my intake of fresh fruits, like bananas, my diabetes has reversed to the extent that I no longer need any medication. Hopefully, that answers your question

Fruit Sugar Diabetes

My dad and grandma are both type 2 diabetics and they seem to have to be pretty careful about their food intake as they are not on insulin and cannot just give themselves a shot if it accidentally goes too high (although exercise can help this). For my dad, fruits eaten in a balanced meal do not bother him much, but if he eats too much high fats he has more trouble controlling his sugars.

It is all about balancing your meals and watching your portions and in a type II diabetics case in particular ---> exercise is vital <---.

In the case of a borderline diabetic if he would just lose some weight and maintain a healthy weight afterwards with exercise and eating healthy foods he may never cross the borderline (my grandfather did this and it worked for him) and in fact may even be able to back away from the borderline all together.

Also, one thing I always mistakenly thought was that sugar was the only thing a diabetic had to watch. This is incorrect. Any carbohydrate can effect the blood sugar levels. How much it affects it depends on what it was eaten with and the portion size and whether it is a complex or simple carb. Also fats can be an issue (it affects my dad a lot).

My husband who is a type 1 diabetic says there isn't any food a diabetic cannot have. It just depends on how much.. with what.. and where his sugar level is at the time plus whether or not he plans to exercise.

Try to encourage him to lose weight and exercise. You can do this by asking him to exercise with you and also having everyone in the family eat better. A diabetics diet is actually the best diet for all people.

I do hope that you people well know the chances of a person being diabetic, coz I don't know what exactly borderline diabetic means.

There is this simple concept that the blood sugar levels should remain normal. I know that most of the fruits can be eaten by diabetic people, but just 75 gm a day; that too incase the fruit is really sweet like mango, pineapple and banana. At the same time (and papaya also) all these fruits are less sweet when raw (green), so that’s a good thing to have than to have the really ripe ones.

Actually the thing is that all natural sweet things (except those used to make artificial sweetener) have sucrose, lactose or such other form of carbohydrate which increases blood sugar levels. So a good and strict diet chart is important to be maintained, by that your dad can also eat sweet fruits as well as maintain his blood glucose levels too.

No eating any fruits or even sugar does not cause Diabetes. Think about this for a moment if eating candy or even fruits caused Diabetes if that was true then 99.9% of the world's population would be DIabetic. Also concider this fact when Dibetic person's is close to going into a Dibetic shock then why do they need some fruit juice candy or a regular soda to prevent them from going into a Diabetic shock?

Hi,

The sugars from peaches, and other fruit will increase a blood sugar levels, but not as much as say drinking coffee with a tablespoon of cane sugar.

A little fresh fruit is great for him, strawberries even have a fairly low glycemic index. A diet without fruit in it can lead to Scurvey, something not common today, because we tend to eat a lot of vegetables and fruit.

Meat is not a requirement with each meal. You can eat oatmeal with cinnamon for breakfast, adding strawberries or peaches to sweeten it, not artificial sugars - but a little plain sugar is OK if required to eat a otherwise healthy meal.

The cinnamon helps slow the absorption rate of the food into blood sugars, so you tend to get the food to last a longer time, giving the sugars slowly to the body to feed it all day long.

Good Luck!

As a diabetic you are often given conflicting advice as it seems even all the medical people concerned with diabetic care can agree on everything. I have found that using a variety of the methods supported by different professionals both my husband and I have managed to control our sugar levels. One thing I did find helpful was on a course we attended for the management of diabetes they spoke about the (GI) Glycemic Index of the food this is worked out by the effect the food has on blood sugar. We were advised to try and eat as much from the low to medium sources and use high GI foods with caution. See the web site below for more information but a quick basic answer is yes a diabetic can eat fruit, also he does not have to completely cut out sugar or foods containing sugar he just has to keep an eye on him. Another helpful piece of advise we were given was when checking the back of packets when working out the sugar content was anything with over 10g sugar per serving should be limited

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.
