Elizabeth!

About one-fourth of your plate should be filled with grains or starchy foods such as rice, pasta, potatoes, corn, or peas.



· Another fourth should be protein — foods like meat, fish, poultry, or tofu.



· For the last half of your plate, you can fill it with non-starchy vegetables and fruits like broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, salad, tomatoes, and cauliflower.



Fruits are loaded with vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. Fruits are bulky foods, with lots of fiber and water so they are filling without contributing a lot of calories.







Fresh, raw fruits usually have the highest nutritional value, but frozen, canned and dried fruits retain plenty of their nutrients as well. Just choose as wide a variety as possible and eat several servings of fruits every day. Eat the peel if it's edible; vitamins, minerals and other nutrients are often concentrated in or near the skin.







Take advantage of the wide variety of fruits available in virtually every market; don't limit yourself to just apples, oranges and bananas. Count the number of different kinds of fruit you eat this week, then try to eat twice as many different ones next week.







Most fruits contain a lot of sugar, but that does not mean they should be avoided by diabetics or others who are concerned about sugar intake. No one should miss out on all the nutrients found in fruits; just eat them with other foods to avoid the rise in blood sugar that occurs in some individuals if fruit is eaten all by itself.

Reply:Apples are 15 carbs. Bananas are 30. Try to keep off oranges, they mess me up.

Fruits are great, as long as you cover them.
Reply:The bottom line is to leave the choices to your friend.

It is nice to be concerned and you can ask all you want to know about diabetes.

Either do your own research or TALK to your friend.

Would you like her saying " wow , that is a big serving of_____. Are you allowed to eat that ? "

Trust your friend.
Reply:All fruit has a pretty high sugar content, but depending on what type of diabetes your friend has, she may be okay with it.
Reply:A lot of fruit is not good for any diabetic. However, she can eat things like strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. 2 whole cups of strawberries have only 15 carbs!



Pineapple isn't too bad, as long as its fresh and not canned, apples and peaches aren't bad either.



If you really want to know, you can look up carb counts here on this website...



http://www.carb-counter.org/



Look for the blue box near the bottom of the page, and click on the food group you're interested in, then click on the foods for more info. Look for the EEC numbers. Quantities are listed at the top of the tables. The left hand table is for 100 grams of each food (by weight) The right hand table is for food by volume, such as 1 tsp or 1 cup of each food.



My diabetes nutritionist recommends about 30 carbs per meal. Your friend may be on a higher carb diet. As long as she is keeping her blood sugar under good control, then she should be fine.



Check out the links on this blog for more info. "Jennifer's page" listed on the blog tells what blood sugar numbers she should be aiming for

Please do not become a member of "the diabetes police". Your friend has to make her own decisions. Having someone tell her all the time that she should eat this or that is not going to help. It will only make her more depressed and she may over eat to compensate for feeling down.
Reply:She just needs to watch her overall carbs...her doctor should have given her a recommended carb level (such as 35-45g of carb) to shoot for at each meal. Most fruits are 20-25g (a little apple is 15), so that can eat up a lot of the carb she's allowed. Smoothies are way too high in carbs unless she takes insulin to cover it. Same with juices and Orange Julius. Berries are a good choice, they are only 10-12g per serving. Blueberries, strawberries, rasperries.
Reply:I would think too much pineapple or melon might be bad for her.
Reply:im diabetic ;; depends how much of it you eat , every fruit has alot of sugar , depends on the portion ; amount u eat .
Reply:Watermelon has heaps of sugar, along with most fruit. Berries etc. doesnt have any though. I'm a diabetic, Type 1, and I eat heaps of fruit and I'm fine, I just have to alter my insulin doseage.
Reply:I will refer you here to get the correct information from the Diabetes.org. Blood sugar levels are extremely important to monitor and maintain. Eating correctly is the biggest preventative measure against doing damage to your body (whether she is type 1 or 2)



Diabetes should be discussed thoroughly with her physician too. If she doesn't know how to manage her diabetes she should think about getting a better physician.
Reply:Fruits are better for your friend than refined foods, fruit juices, sweets, candy.. etc. Grapes, melons, pineapple, things that taste sweet have more natural sugar than let's say apples. Others have listed some good sites to check so I won't relist them. Just because a fruit is high in natural sugar doesn't mean she can never have it, she just needs to limit how much she eats of it.



Your friend is lucky to have you as a friend.. so few would even care. Good luck!

Reply:Most fruits are high in sugar and should be eaten in moderation. Fruits can be dangerous to diabetics.
Reply:Yes, fruit has a lot of sugar in it. But it is also very healthy for you. So it really comes down to amounts. There are also fruits that have less sugar (or you have to eat a lot more of them to get teh same number of carbs). Bananas have a lot of sugar because they are so dense. But you have to eat a full cup of blueberries (who eats a cup of blueberries at a sitting) to get the same amount of sugar in half a banana. The other thing to look for is water content in the fruit. More water, less sugar.

The other thing is that fruit instead of a candy bar is a great decision. When people have sweet cravings and reach for an apple instead of candy, you can't really say that is bad.

For a type 2 diabetic, they have to watch their sugar intake, but often need to loose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. Fruit fits into that perfectly, ice cream doesn't. Yes, both have carbs (ice cream of course usually has more) but we all know which is the better choice. It is all so variable, so don't give your friend any grief about her fruit intake. Maybe suggest or offer popcorn as a 'snack food' or cheese (but watch the fat).
