Here is an article I read when I first found out I was a diabetic. I hope that you find it helpful. The Best Fruits for Diabetics (Dr. Weil) Fruits provide us with the best source of vitamins, phytochemicals, and fiber - all important components of a healthy diet. Although fruits contain natural sugars, diabetics should not forego their benefits, but should choose fruits wisely, based on the glycemic index (GI), a measure of how fast carbohydrate foods (including fruit) are converted in the body to blood glucose. Diabetics should focus on fruits that are low on the GI (below 55) since these release sugars more slowly into the blood stream. Some good choices are: An average-sized apple (GI score: 38) Cherries (22) Grapefruit (25) One average-sized orange (44) One average-sized pear (38) One plum (39)

Any and all fruits are great. Just count the carbs. Never stop counting. As a rule, dried fruits have more sugar than fresh fruits. So you can eat less for the same number of carbs. If u enjoy canned fruit - as I do - read the back and measure carbs. Use medication and exercise to balance your carb intake.

Foods in their natural states should not be at issue with her. No more bread, sugar, white rice and she should exericise all she can. Also her doctor should monitor her blood sugar with the A1c test to see how she does over time. So many things can go wrong so until she has it under control and adjusted her living she should see her doctor and make the changes necessary. It does get easier and you are wonderful for standing by her. Good luck with this.

yes, diabetic patient should always be aware of what he is eating. especially the sugary things like sweets and chocolates. They have to even drink sugar less tea and have to say bye bye to sweets for ever in life. sweet fruits are also harmful for them. but these people always want to eat those things which are harmful for them.
