“People with diabetes should look at their lunch or dinner plate and, to keep their blood sugar well controlled, about half of it should be fruits and vegetables,”
“Firm fruits like apples and pears are healthy options for people with diabetes because they tend to have a large amount of fiber and a moderate amount of sugar,” says Kakarala.
A medium pear contains about 17 grams of sugar and 27 grams of carbohydrate. That might seem like a lot at first, but 5.5 grams of fiber help to buffer the sugar’s absorption. Pears are also rich in essential vitamins and minerals, with 12 percent of a woman’s daily vitamin C, about 10 percent for men. They have about 200 milligrams of potassium (about four to five percent of the recommended daily amount), as well, which is key to healthy blood pressure control.
Similarly, one medium apple has 19 grams of sugar and 25 grams of carbohydrate. That’s balanced by 4.4 grams of fiber, along with 14 percent of a woman’s daily vitamin C, 11 percent for men. They also contain 195 milligrams of heart-healthy potassium.
