Living with diabetes often makes dietary choices difficult. Foods packed with fibre, protein and antioxidants are considered diabetes-friendly while those high in carbs, sugar, and processed foods are restricted for people with the disease. Fruits and vegetables being high in antioxidants, vitamins and other micronutrients are considered good for people with diabetes.
However, when it comes to fruit consumption, it is important to go for those that have low-Gi and less sweet. Banana, mango, and watermelon for instance isn't recommended for people with type 2 diabetes in high quantities.
