High blood sugar: which fruits to eat and which ones to avoid

There are many fruits that have a low glycemic index and can therefore be consumed without problems by those suffering from hyperglycemia. But be careful: at the table, the watchword is always moderation. From apples to pears passing through strawberries, cherries and abicocca. Grapes, bananas and figs should be avoided.

If you suffer from diabetes, in particular   in any case you have worrying blood glucose levels – therefore values above 100 milligrams/deciliter on an empty stomach, i.e. in simple terms you have high blood sugar – you have to be very careful about one thing: diet.

In fact, the glycemic level also depends, but not only, on the carbohydrates (i.e. sugars) you ingest. Fundamental premise: an adequate and well-balanced diet must be agreed with an expert nutritionist and with the diabetologist, who also takes care of the pharmacological part.

I’ll tell you right away that if you suffer from hyperglycemia there are no absolute prohibitions but certainly foods that have a high carbohydrate content should be avoided, first and foremost cereals and its derivatives: bread, pasta, crackers, biscuits etc.

A false myth says that one of the most “painful” sacrifices, however, could be linked to the consumption of fruit. In reality, however, many fruits have no particular contraindications for diabetics or for those who have high blood sugar levels. I am referring, for example, to apples or strawberriescherries or oranges. On the contrary, however, you should stay away from fruits such as grapesbananas or prunes.

The fruits that can be eaten with high blood sugar

It is important to observe a parameter, which is the glycemic index, i.e. the ability of a food to raise blood glucose levels after being digested. So what are the fruits with a low glycemic index? Here is a list:
