Correct diabetes diet

Part 3: Healthy Carbs - Fruit

We would recommend that fruit be restricted to, perhaps, one a day.

Fruit has a low Glycaemic Index (GI) and Glycaemic load (GL), and doesn't raise blood glucose much. Thus is looks like a good form of carbohydrate food for diabetics.

However, this is deceptive as fruit sugar, fructose, is much worse than glucose for glycating haemoglobin and increasing the the risk of cardiovascular disease.
