1 Fruit to Eat for Stable Blood Sugar
AOL.com • • health
Key Points:
- Fruits have a moderate impact on blood sugar, making them neither clearly spiking nor neutral, which requires careful selection for those with prediabetes or diabetes.
- Registered dietitians emphasize the importance of including whole fruits in the diet due to their fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and role in preventing inflammation and nutrient deficiencies.
- The best fruits for blood sugar control are those low in sugar and high in fiber, such as blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, figs, prunes, apples, strawberries, kiwi, and grapefruit.
- Pairing fruit with protein or fat-rich foods like yogurt, nuts, or cheese helps stabilize blood sugar and avoid spikes caused by "naked carbs" eaten alone.
- Consuming appropriate portions of these fruits as part of a balanced diet can support blood sugar management while providing essential micronutrients and antioxidants.
