Dr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. For a diabetic person actually there is no total restriction with regard to any specific fruit. However, usually mango, banana, chikkoo and grapes are said to be restricted. Other fruits like apple, orange, sweet lime, water melon, papaya, pomegranate, guava and other melons can be taken. The restricted fruits also can be taken in a small quantity once a while. Total intake of fruits per day should be around 100 g. Most important is to have well controlled blood glucose with fasting blood glucose <100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. There is no any specific restriction in relation to kidney disease. Thanks.
