Can't people with diabetes eat any fruit?

Many people have long believed that diabetics cannot eat fruit, but this is not entirely correct. Whether you can eat fruit depends entirely on your specific condition; having diabetes does not mean you cannot eat any fruit at all.

Fruit tastes good and can provide vitamins and other nutrients. Therefore, everyone should eat some fruit to supplement the vitamins their bodies need. The key is how to eat it. Because fruit contains sugar, it should only be eaten after blood sugar is well-controlled. Fruits with high glucose content, such as grapes, bananas, lychees, dates, and hawthorns, should be avoided. You can eat pears, peaches, strawberries, grapefruits, etc. Eating 1-2 fruits a day is acceptable. If you want to eat watermelon, consuming half a kilogram a day is also fine. Fruit can be eaten as a snack or before a meal. If you can measure your blood sugar or urine sugar before eating fruit and two hours after, it will be very helpful in understanding whether you can eat that particular fruit and if you are eating too much of it.
