Low-Sugar Fruits
You might be surprised to learn that you have to limit all types of sugar when you have diabetes or prediabetes, not just refined sugars. Some fruits have high levels of sugar and should only be enjoyed in moderation. Fortunately, you won’t have to give up on your sweet tooth completely! You can fuel up on low-sugar fruit like melons and berries to keep your blood sugar in check.
While you should always check with your doctor, there are a few safe bets for the majority of patients. Kiwi, oranges, and honeydew melons are easier to digest and contain more stable sugars than strawberries, grapes, and other high-sugar fruits. Consider adding these to green spirulina smoothies for an extra burst of healthy goodness.
