Fruits + Diabetes: yes, you can still enjoy them! ๐๐ซ
A common myth is that diabetics need to avoid fruit completely โ but it's really about how much and which ones.
Not sure what counts as "1 serving"? Here's an easy way to gauge it:
๐๏ธ Palm-sized fruits (apple, orange, pear, kiwi) = 1 serving
๐๏ธ A palm-grab of small fruits (blueberries, grapes) = 1 serving
๐๏ธ 1 wedge of bigger fruits (watermelon, papaya, pineapple) = 1 serving
Trade the juice for whole fruit โ 2 servings of whole fruit a day is ideal for most adults with diabetes.
