Despite their natural sweetness, many fruits such as peach, pear, papaya, kiwi or cherries have a low glycemic index (GI), suitable even for people with diabetes.
Berries
Berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and raspberries have a natural sweetness but a low glycemic index (GI). They are rich in fiber, which helps slow down sugar absorption and limit post-eating blood sugar spikes. In addition, anthocyanins in berries also help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation.
Apples
Apples are a rich source of fiber, pectin and polyphenols, supporting blood sugar control and improving gut health. Flavonoids in apples also help increase insulin sensitivity. To retain nutrients and fiber, apples whole, including the skin, should be eaten instead of juice.
Le
Pears are high in fiber and have a low GI index, helping to stabilize blood sugar despite their natural sweetness. Some studies show that flavonoids in pears can improve insulin sensitivity. You should choose naturally ripe pears and eat whole to get the most benefits.
Cherry
Cherries, especially sour cherries, are rich in antioxidants that reduce inflammation and support metabolism. Some studies show that this fruit can improve insulin regulation, while contributing to reducing the risk of heart disease. Fresh or frozen cherries are suitable choices.
Orange
Oranges provide vitamin C, fiber and flavonoids that are beneficial for health. When eaten whole, the amount of fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugar, thereby limiting blood sugar fluctuations. People with diabetes should prioritize fresh oranges instead of orange juice to maximize benefits.
Peach
Peaches have a natural sweetness, rich in vitamins, fiber and antioxidants. With an average GI level, peaches do not cause blood sugar to spike suddenly if eaten in reasonable amounts. The biological compounds in this fruit also help reduce inflammation and support metabolism.
Kiwi
Kiwi is a fruit rich in vitamin C, fiber and potassium, and also has a low GI index. Some studies show that kiwi can support blood sugar control, improve digestion and is a suitable choice for people with diabetes.
