People often think that because persons with diabetes have trouble controlling their blood sugar, they should not eat fruit, a source of sugar. This is entirely wrong. The natural sugars in fruit and fruit juices raise blood sugar levels less than many refined, starchy carbohydrate-rich foods. Fructose consumption by those with type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes results in either improved or unchanged metabolic control of blood sugar. The combination of fructose, a sugar that is metabolized slowly, and pectin, which slows digestion and absorption of food, makes whole fresh fruit an ideal component of the diabetic diet.
