Hello, Thanks for the query. Following fruits can be taken by a person with diabetes: Papaya, watermelon, pomegranate, apple, pear, guava, orange, sweet lime. Fruits like banana, mango, grapes and chikkoo should be avoided. First and foremost is to achieve a strict blood glucose control with fasting < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. Then one can take 1 to 2 servings of the fruits a day. Fruits do not reduce blood glucose. Thanks.
