Why do fruits procure a doomed to failure reputation for diabetics?
I've done an awful lot of research on this, and found that fruits are much better for a diabetic than I originally thought. Turns out that a potato has three times as many carb calories as a banana and it have nearly four times as much as an apple. Plus, over a third of those calories in a banana or an apple are fructose which doesn't raise blood sugar surrounded by any way. Meanwhile, the fruits have loads of fighting fit nutrients like potassium and other vitamins and minerals which are proven to help glucose metabolism. So do you feel we should avoid fruits?
Answers:
One of the reasons your comparisons are making fruits look OK is that you're comparing them to a potato. The potato is one of the worst foods for a diabetic. They are almost pure starch and breakdown incredibly fast. They spike blood sugar almost faster than insulin can act in response to them.
But, in reality, fruit can be a forceful part of a diabetes diet. You just entail to not overdo it and need to know how to count the carbohydrates in what you're choosing. Source(s): www.DiabeticConnect.com
It's the old thing of "diabetics can't guzzle sweets"...which we now know is incorrect. It's all roughly speaking carb management. But although fruits are a healthy form of carbs, it's vital to realize that they are a fairly concentrated source of them, so just one piece at a time is best. And "smoothies", fruit salad, fruit liquid, applesauce, and anything else other than raw fruit usually have dozens of carbs and should be avoided. Total carbs are what matter most - beware of the "glycemic index"! The GI is only of use in determining how *quickly* (not how high) various foods will elevate your BG, you still have to count your carbs religiously. Moderation in everything is the knob.

yes potatoes are REALLY discouraging, carb wise.
But fruits contain a LOT of sugar - especially oranges and watermelon. From this standpoint, sugar is sugar, and needs to be controlled.
Fruit JUICES are especially grievous. Most bottled fruit juices have added sugar, or they are concentrated -- have more sugar per ounce than regular fruit.
Fruits of ALL sorts must be eaten in strcitly set quantities.
Some fruits hold natural sugars which to a diabetic is as bad as consumption sugar (almost). Your body will digest sugar from fruit easier than like table sugar or starches even. (like potatoes). That is why when you have low blood sugar, you are told to drink red juice because it brings your sugar levels up faster. Source(s): diabetic
I have Always been told that fruits contain too much sugar. I guess they break down too rapid for us diabetics to handle so we then achieve a spike in our glucose reading! That is what I'm guessing! It is just the break down factor! where on earth a spud is slower to metabolize!
Eating a lot of fruits can be fruitless because fruits contain a lot of sugar. Although fruit is healthy for us, they must be consumed surrounded by moderation. Although I have stated that fruits have seriously of sugar, that is not to say they are worse than candy. Fruits should be included contained by our daily diet as we need the nutrients they set aside. You should check out the Wellness With Rose website. There is a ton of free info on there!

Why does watermelon get a bad rap?
watermelon as an example of calculating glycemic nouns. Its glycemic index is pretty high, about 72. According to the calculation by the people at the University of Sydney's Human Nutrition Unit, in a serving of 120 grams it have 6 grams of available carbohydrate per serving, so its glycemic load is pretty low, 72/100*6=4.32, rounded to 4.
A slightly unripe banana Has a G/L of 11 Very good.
I suppose date are not goodfor you, G/L of 42
Same with raisins G/L 28
Seems as if all the other fruits are really accurate choice for diabetics.

Lots of people infer it is sugar in fruits but it is the carbs in fruit that eventually turn into sugar and how efficient.
an apple has more fiber that a potato so a potato will digest faster and would result in a spike faster than the apple.
So it really depends on the fruit you devour
Ok going to tell you my experience when I eat it I be aware of so bad &sick like I own to sit down I've been diabetic for over10years I buy it know it's a no no
I just take so sick and my vision gets really really discouraging less than a half hour of ingestion that why it has a bad rep :( Source(s): my duration with diabetes
Fructose does not raise blood sugar but the fructose goes to the liver and beside the help of insulin, is converted to triglycerides. This is metabolic fact. A carbohydrate is still a carbohydrate. Now low carboydrate fruits resembling berries or melon, have enough wholesome compounds to be worth the carbohydrate load, in moderation. Why are you even thinking in the order of potatoes? 1/4 cup of sugar in each.

For those who do not know, carbohydrate is just another dub for SUGAR. They can be complex but they are then broken down to "simple sugars" Source(s): "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes 2007
