- Were you taught that fruit is natural and the sugars in it doesn't count? Well this video is for you. Diabetics should pay special attention to fruit and what it does to their blood sugar levels. Some fruits are very high in sugar and should be avoided by diabetics.
This video lists the 7 highest-sugar fruits that all diabetics should avoid. Any food that spikes your blood sugar should not be part of your daily diabetic diet.

I have been on a ketogenic diet for six months. My A1C starting was 8.2 and 6 months later it is 4.9. My cholesterol levels are very good and my hdl went up 10 points to 47, still not optimal but getting there. I love this way of eating and I am seeing great results. I have lost 65 pounds in 6 months.
Congratulations Lisa! So happy for you! I’ve been on for 6 weeks and have not lost any weight. It’s ok I know it will take some time to reverse TD2 and insulin resistance.
Way to go, Lisa :)
Lisa Congratulations!!!

Banana, grape, cherry, papaya, pineapple, melon, peach
Thanks😅
Thanks
Thank you for the list, it is greatly appreciated 👍🏼
only berries are good, dr berries too.
Mangoes 🥭
I eat bananas, grapes, cherries and watermelon. I don't have them every day but I also eat them in moderation and they have never spiked my blood sugar.
My Dad was a type 2 diabetic and enjoyed his daily banana and prune juice. Lived to a ripe old age of 93. ✊
Ripe old age. That’s beautifully said……. Love your post.☮
I agree with you
I’m with ya bro
Gene Dandy I'm a type 2 diabetic and I eat a banana or have grapes with my breakfast everyday and they do Not spike my blood sugar levels.

Wow! This hasn’t been my experience at all. I’m almost 60 and retired 2 years ago. A year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes with an A1c of 8.0. I was horrified! At the urging of a friend, I read Dr Joel Fuhrman’s book “Eat to Live”. This convinced me how I needed to change my diet from Oreos and Pepsi, to fruits and vegetables. Hating vegetables, I gravitated to more fruits than vegetables. Bananas, grapes, mandarin oranges, pears, and peaches, are my main fruit supply. Broccoli, kale, and beans are my main non-fruits. Since making the switch, my A1c has dropped to 5.2 and stayed there, and my weight dropped 100 pounds from 280 to 180. My total cholesterol is right around 100. I am stronger now than ever in my life, I have a 6-pack now (first time ever), and I’ve been able to discontinue all 5 of my daily medications. I do no routine exercise or strength training - just work hard out in the yard and with DIY projects in the house. I’m not taking any meds now on a daily basis. I feel absolutely great!! I respect what you say, but my personal experience has been the opposite. I’m not sure what to make of your message.
Bless you bro you did real good. Hope your quality of life reflects that.
That's awesome. For type 2 diabetis, losing weight is the best way to reverse it. You can do that with carbs or no carbs. The way you're eating is the healthiest no doubt. Keto works too, but it's not nearly as healthy as the way you eat. I started on keto, my a1c dropped tremendously, but other blood markers got worse. I started to adjust and ended up with a diet that is still lower in carbs around 60 to 80 grams per day all coming from blueberries, strawberries, pomegranate, potatoes and the carbs in yogurt, nuts and veggies. I switched to lean cuts of meats, but i then add monosaturated fats to it. My health is better, aic is still good, i can workout harder and recover faster. Perhaps, who knows, later on I may move to something like what you're doing.
Mark Fenbers I have followed similar sort of diet and my results were the same. Improved all the bad numbers drastically and I ate a ton of fruit. Covid blues threw a wrench into my motivation to eat the best diet but am working my way back. I think it's the total dietary picture that matters most. I didn't eat meat or dairy and stayed away from oils to get great blood work results. Refined stuff was avoided as much as I could.
Going from Oreos and Pepsi to fruits is definitely going to be less sugar but I definitely feel a sugar spike when I eat most fruits
@@Queenbeezyy Yup! Sure does spike! Our bodies need sugar for energy, but fruits have fructose whereas Pepsi and Oreos have sucrose. Both are sugars, but the body processes them differently when eaten with the fruit fiber that contains them.
7 fruits to eat in limitation to avoid blood sugar spikes: bananas, grapes/raisins, cherries, papayas, pineapples, any melons, and peaches. Thank you, Dr. Berry! 🤗
I though cherries were low glycemic!
No mention of mangoes 🙉 my oh my...
I’m pretty sure strawberries and raspberries are safer to eat as they have less sugar... and blueberries
@@TiMalice2009 berries are. Not cherries
Slyfoot Soldier tart cherries or sweet cherries??
Large sack of sugar! Ha! That’s what fruit made me. But with your advice I’m down @100 lbs and my blood sugar is normal! Thanks and keep up the advice.
Glad that I saw this because I eat bananas once a week. My A1C was 9 and my average blood glucose levels were 233...just had updated blood work A1C 6.3 and average blood sugar levels were 133. I'm trying 🙏🏾
Once a week I do too
YummiCandi Collection Keep up the good work! You are saving your kidneys, your vision, etc by getting a handle on your a1c! I speak from experience as a diabetic myself who's mother lost her vision to uncontrolled diabetes. Peace to you from NY!🕊🌹
Now this is the type of video you need to do!!! You could add at the end examples of the substitutions but I love the fact that you didn’t spend forever doing a build up and long explanations for each.
*TOP FRUITS TO AVOID*
1. Bananas 🍌 - eat other substitutes like avocado 🥑
2. Grapes 🍇 and raisins
3. Cherries 🍒
4. Papaya
5. Pineapple 🍍
6. Melons🍈
7. Peaches 🍑
I am not a diabetic but I try to follow this advice regardless since a lot of my family members are diabetics (type 1 and 2). I think peaches are the hardest for me.
not the pineapple
@@JustasIam147 Ahahaha I personally don’t like pineapple or melon very much and hate avocados as a banana replacement. But the peaches, cherries and grapes are hard for me too ahaha
Please, what's about green papaya?
@@Carolina-rd3gh cherries and peaches are the hardest for me , especially peaches I have a peach tree that gets laden with them , can't resist eating them when ripe, the others I can never eat and be perfectly fine.
@@rottierumbles9451 I haven’t eaten cherries in years although I like it. Peaches are some of the best fruits. You’re so lucky you have a tree. I wish! I wouldn’t be able to resist them either in your place
I showed this video to my wife. These are quite literally the only fruits she likes, and she growled at each one getting mentioned.
I did some growling too. I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I also love pineapple and canteloupe. I don't eat fruit every day though.
I know how she feels. As I was eating a bowl of grapes when I click play . and yes I sure did finish that bowl of grapes. as I watched this video.
Houston we have a problem, and it's a really big problem...
Its only an issue if you eat too much of them or you have diabetes or candida. Otherwise eat them every once and a while to satisfy your craving.
I still love fruit after being on keto for over a year. I stick to berries, avocados, cucumbers and olives. If your wife likes berries and nuts and seeds, I came up with a cereal early on to satisfy my cereal cravings. It's 1/4 cup berry of choice, 1/4 cup of a nut of choice (peanuts, almonds pecan, etc), 1/4 cup of either salted sunflower seeds or shelled pumpkin seeds. Melt 1 tbsp of butter or coconut oil and pour it over the berry and nuts and seeds. Then add 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk. Sometimes I'll add a little Stevia for sweetness but not all the time. It is really good! Sometimes, if I have ebough carbs left, I'll add some 100% peanut butter (1tbsp). I love Smucker's it's just peanuts and salt. And it's so yummy! I don't have this every day. But it makes a good breakfast or dessert and it's surprisingly very filling for such a tiny amount. I actually prefer that over storebought cereal now because it fills me up for long periods of time. And I get a little fruit in it.
Pretty much naming all the common fruits being sold in supermarkets.
I was recently told in Dec 2021 I am pre diabetic.i have had the hardest time getting on low carb/keto but this Monday I attempted that process.i have been listening to your
Podcasts and I really really appreciate your honesty and truthfulness about everything to do with our health!! If I lived where you practiced i would want you to be my physician.i am thankful I can watch these to get my lifestyle in line with what is best for me.i don't ever want to be diabetic!!
All i can say is thank goodness i like green granny smith apples and like you say all the ones you mentioned are occasional treats.
Great advice. In 1978, when I first entered nursing the prevailing notion was that total calories were all important, so fat at 9 calories per gram and simple carbs at 4 calories per gram, had to be computed. So a low fat diet with fruits and simple carbohydrates was favored over a diet with fats and oils. Shockingly, we would tide diabetics over night with a bedtime snack of angel food cake or fruit cocktail or with a sugary gelatin dessert. Part of the problem was a certain doctor, Dr. Ancel Keys, during World War 2, studying starvation, came up with a theory that the consumption of fat, especially saturated fat, was evil; causing a huge dietary shift in the 1950s to margarine and low fat, but higher carbohydrate diets. Even today, dietitians are faced with a dilemma, where in school they are taught to avoid all fats in the diet, yet have to incorporate contradictory diabetic teaching that with an emphasis on reducing simple carbs and incorporating some fats is okay for diabetics with underlying cardiovascular disease.
Mangos should be on the list, and sadly my most favorite fruit.
So true!
Where I come from, Pakistan we worship the stuff. Some of the best rare flavors emanate from our nation. I have a dozen in my pantry.
Was going to say the same thing. Mangoes should be on list. And they are my favorite. Fruit of the Gods!
Put them in Smoothies...
It'll be O.K.

Appreciate the information, awesome video.
God Bless you & your family Dr. Berry!! Happy New Year ❤️ We love you!!
My favorite part is the end where Dr. Berry gives goals for Type 2 and Type 1 diabetics. Shows the care and leaves us with some next step goals.
Who's stomach dropped when they heard one of the fruits he mentioned because you had it recently 😂.
🙋♀️
I just had few grapes but wild with seeds...like 5mins ago
Great Video Dr Berry! Thank you
so much excellent info. thank you.
Berries are the safest, strawberries lowest in sugar.
Actually strawberries are sweeter than raspberries. As a person fighting Candida, my body tells me when I've eaten sugar and the only berries that don't make my body react are raspberries. Strawberries, Blueberries and Blackberries are all sweeter than Raspberries.
Yet how many people will only eat them in season once a year? I have wild strawberries on my property and they're no bigger than a pea and are slightly tart. Same with raspberries and wild grapes,; very small and not nearly as sweet as those sold in stores (but 10x more flavorful). I'll taste a few once a year, but that's it. My body doesn't like that sugar overload from modern fruit at all any more...to each his own, though.
@@rogerhickson7256 That's probably true... and raspberries are more bitter than strawberries and blueberries.
What about Lingonberry? that's got to be lowest in sugar.. 9 carbs per 100 grams.. i personally don't like how they taste without any sweeteners..
Strawberries not full of pesticides?
Thank you Dr. Berry. God bless you and your family! 🙏🏼
Thanks Dr. Berry, very informative!
I was always told that naturally occurring sugar have components that slow down how quickly the body processes the sugar to prevent spiking, while processed sugar doesn't.
Yup eat the fruit dont drink the fruit.
I’ve been thinking about this for awhile. Thank you so much for getting the message out there that sugar is sugar is sugar!! You are a straight shooter and it is so important for people to realize this!
Sugar is sugar but whatever you eat is converted into sugar in the body. You just can consume excessive amounts.
The hardest one on that list is cherries! I live in Montana and Flathead cherries are the best in the world!
Thank you doctor, will definitely follow your advice.
Thank you for such helpful information.
Dr. Berry is named after the fruits with the lowest amount of sugar. Coincidence? ;)
🤣🤣
Berry Good
😂
And the moon landing is fake 🤣😂
He's my huckleberry - LOL!
im in Malaysia and most tropical fruits are high in sugar but also there are many that are suitable for diabetes. I was told we can moderate our portion. Papaya is my fav while pineapple is only on occasion. I have totally avoided banana and durian as advised by my doctor ( my boyfriend haha)
Thanks , Dr Berry for all your advice & knowledge.
Great heads up, thanks 🙏🙏
Love this video! I am not a diabetic thank god but I am pre-diabetic going to avoid these.
Avoid all types of sugar including sweeteners such as coconut sugar,lucuma,dates,agave syrup and so on...
@Manner Hall I've overcome my sugar cravings with the help of keto and intermittent fasting. When I get a sweet tooth now I use stevia or monkfruit...works great.
Dr Berry. Thank you I want normal blood sugar too. Was 13.8 A1C in December. In July 7 A1C. Working hard to get to 5.6 or lower.
I’m learning daily. Thank you
Thank you, doctor for this information and for being kind and not taking us to another site to explain what you said. Now, a favor: Can you tell us which fruits we can have without any bad effects? Thank you again and best to you.
I was surprised when bananas spiked my glucose over 170 and apples spiked it over 150. I believe you are absolutely right in your recommendations.
TG I don't really like any of these! Never been a big fruit person, but I have added oranges (whole fruit only - no juices!) back into my diet = 1 orange AFTER eating any kind of beef, which seems to nip kidney stones in the bud & help with digestion (i.e. no constipation). Funny but this routine hails back to my childhood diet WHEN I WAS SKINNY! We ate a lot of beef, real dairy (butter, cheese, etc.) & always had apples & oranges on hand - of which I always preferred oranges. My body knew what to do, even if I didn't.
Thanks for the video Doc.
Six out of the seven is what grows in the Caribbean, and we all used these fruits, but hearing it from a Doctor stand point bring awareness, because sometime we in the Caribbean partake of fruits by the abundance, we hv a lot of them in our yards; including mangoes of all kind, but thanks again appreciate the time u took to enlighten people of the damage. I really learned a lot with the health tips u provide👍i will share with my family and friends.
May God richly blessed u in all u do.💕
Caribbean lady, I know you speak dialects of English on the islands, and that educational standards vary there. But you really need to spend some time understanding English spelling and grammar. Your comment is riddled with mistakes and senseless abbreviations.
As a type 2 diabetic, I have noted the sugar rush with fruits and berries. However, I would suggest moderation vs absence. Know the limi5 of what your body can handle safely at any one time.
I wound up in a nursing home for four weeks, I have type 2 diabetes. I knew the food there was really bad, but I liked it. I also knew there would be a price to pay. I had been off Metformin for years because I cook my own meals and control sugar and starches (starches are my downfall).
I'm now back on Metformin, the month I ate unhealthy food caused a major relapse of diabetes. I don't eat fruits or drink fruit juices.
I was a type 2 diabetic and in three months I went from weighing 215 to 164 with exercise and a good diet. Now im in better shape then i was in my 30's and currently 57 years old. After three months of exercising and watching what i eat my A1C is down to 5.1 and reversed my diabetes and all this while eating every type of fruit u can think of. But i did cut out all red meat, breads, tortillas and anything that was refined, basically veggies, fruit, white meat, fish and good carbs is what I eat today.
You didn't have to cut out red meat, it's actually better for you than chicken. If you eat chicken I would suggest thighs instead of breasts
@@Blakostructr why?
“Now I’m in better shape then when...” No. You are in “ better shape THAN when” etc. Learn the difference.
@@Blakostructr chicken breast has higher protein and lower calories so better for building muscle and losing weight.
I know in Keto they advice to eat red meat instead, yet real reason why keto works is because is a low carb diet.
I live in Jamaica. Currently eating a mango and some pineapple for breakfast. Points taken for my Keto experience.
Thankyou for educating me...I've been living with diabetes for over 15 years and im still learning every day. I have inherited diabetes from both my parents. I do see an enocronologist every year to keep me on the right path and also because my comercial drivers licence requires me to.
Thank you I have been type 2 for nine months and video's like this are fantastic.
Strawberries take care of my cravings for fruit right now but I’ve been eating too many as evidenced by my most recent fasting insulin level. It’s within normal limits but 4 points higher than my last result 4 months ago when I was very judicious with berries. No other diet changes. A1C didn’t change. Just a heads up everyone!!!
I don't have diabetes, but you said there's way better options to some of the fruits you mentioned. Maybe a quick list at the end would have been nice :)
Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries. In that order, best to better.
Raspberries?
J L Yes, thanks! I forgot those!
I've heard the same from a few Drs. on the net, where it was said that they were full of fibre, but also the caution to be conservative about the amount. It was suggested to limit the berries to one handful, or 100 g max. This was in the low carb days. I'm Keto now, and wondering if that much even, would knock me out of ketosis, hmmmmm.......
@@afringedweller well it is berry season coming up here in France. i am not diabetic aand not an ounce over-weight and I am going to enjoy them in season while I can. (I grow raspberries, strawberries , gooseberries and redcurrants.) I have cut down trash carbs like grain but I will be enjoying these home-grown treats as much as possible for the short time they last. I don't buy them in season. Low carb to me is a desirable state but not a full-on religion.
thank you ,great advice.
Thank you for the encouraging words....I CAN do this
Now I’m craving pineapple, watermelon ,peaches
lol...yeah, the 'grilled pineapple' got to me for a few seconds, then I had to snap out of it. I can have a small piece on my birthday if I really want to ;)
Sugar is sugar... *sugar always affects your insulin level*
Well.. unless its fructose and that doesn't change blood sugar but leads to fatty liver and fatty pancreas, so worse.
@@dana102083 therefore I assume dates are terrible?
@@dana102083 if so why you can have it on the paleo diet?
@@courregeaaron947 That is a good question. Why?
That is hard for a lot of people. They have spent a lifetime learning that "natural sugar" is healthier. It is hard to convince some one that it's essentially a sugar cube.
Thank you doc. Berry for sharing.
Thank you for the information
I've been a type 1 diabetic since age 26 and followed carefully, the recommendations of my PCP. When knowledge of carbohydrate counting to be used to calculate fast acting insulin dosages became known, I have been doing that. Currently, I use a Continuous Glucose Moniter (CGM) which allows me to avoid Highs and especially the low blood glucose levels regardless of what I eat. I still am occasionally above or slightly below my suggested blood glucose range, but I haven't had a serious deviation for a long time. BTW I'm 80 years old and my last A1c was 6.4 so I've been doing the right thing concerning type 1 diabetes, which is far easier to deal with than type 2 which my brother had. He has passed from this life 20 years ago.
Dr. Berry, perhaps it would be worthwhile to distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. My youngest daughter is currently studying for her postgraduate degree , having obtained her PhD in Nutrition and dietetics in Australia. Her current work at Harvard University in the US totally contradicts your 'story' ! Perhaps you should update your 20year outdated ideas !
@@allenrj1 Her studies suggest fruit is good despite the high sugars❓🍓🍌🍇
@@allenrj1 what are the findings from her research. Let us benefit from her study.
Newly diagnosed diabetic type 2. My Dietician told me I could have bananas. I had one this morning and it spiked my sugar way up. Never again. I'm grateful I came across you're channel today. Thank you so much!
Candace you may want to watch all videos of Dr. Berry and Dr. Jason Fung who specializes in reversing diabetics type 2.

You should only eat a small one and when it is half ripe. ripe bananas are too sweet. I am allergic to fruit sugars. they give me stomach cramps but with hypertension I need to eat bananas even though I am diabetic.

Thank you Dr. Berry. Good to know all these info you’ve shared with us. We can eat wisely and tell our friends who are diabetic which fruit to avoid or eat less.👍
I remember the ONE time that a doctor ever talked to me about nutrition was when he was retiring. He was new to me and I wish that I had his wisdom longer. Although this doesn’t pertain to things like cherries, grapes and peaches, he mentioned to stay away from any fruit that you have to peel to get at, as they were the most sugary, i.e. bananas, mangos, pineapple, etc. 🍌🥭🍍💃🏻🕺🏽

Eat fruit and be healthy!
@@herbbowler2461 and you learned NOTHING, well done , are you even a Diabetic because that was ignorant as F?

This is great to know.
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to discover diabetes treatment and prevention try Diabetes Crusher Tactic (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my colleague got amazing results with it.
I found it interesting trying to find the difference between Glucose and Fructose in the body. I'd love to hear your take on this.
Fructose can only be processed by the liver, too much can over load the liver and it stores any extra as fat. Basically the same way the body handles alcohol.
I didn't realise melons were so high...my favourite too. Your advice is very relevant and much appreciated.
wao thank you for the imfo Dr Ken, they were the fruits that i ate constantly.
Thank you so much for this video! You are very clear and and descriptive which helped me understand the birthday cake to fruit ratio.

I stopped all fruits 2 years ago, I only eat (occasionally) berries like Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries.
Blueberries are the best with a salad :)
Ya I eat blueberries with my shredded wheat cereal with silk almond unsweetened milk for breakfast. I try to avoid any high sugar fruit; but the fructose isn't as bad as table sugar. I also quit Coke/Pepsi NO SUGAR (cause the color and phosphate in it isn't good I was told...scared me... so I just drink SParkling water with Country Time Lemonade (with sucrolose)... Other doctors say blueberries are fine for diabetics.... I also eat orange for desert after dinner... not too sweet navel oranges.
My A1c was 11.0 *January* but now brought it down to A1c 5.8-6.2 (but also take gluberide and metformin daily)... have a semi-keto diet.

I will miss peaches but I hate how carbs make me feel.
It would be super helpful if you actually mentioned these "alternate sources" for every fruit that has been checked out!!

Thank you for a lecture....
I'll follow what you are saying. I just want you to know you're killing me! Those are my favorite fruits.
I guess everyone is different. I had a very good friend who was a diabetic (type II). He ate fruit nearly every day of his life. Bananas, peaches, watermelon, and grapes were his favorites. He even drank wine and beer (not heavily). Never smoked. He lived to be 82 with the disease. Never had heart or circulation problems. From what I have seen (just from my own personal observations, I am not a medical professional) diabetes always seems to be worse in the people who are heavy drinkers and heavy tobacco users.
Lol
Hey doc! Thanks for your video's. I just found out I'm type 2 with an A1C of 6.8 on Dec. 30th. Started watching your vids and they helped immediately! I've lost 6 pounds since then and feel confident I can shake this thing. I used to drink fruit juice and eat sugar all day now it's probably under 10 grams a day as I still eat limited bread quantities but will be moving to Keto bread and/or sourdough. I'll check back in in about 2 months after my doc visit to test my glucose. Thanks again doc!!
What has been your update so far??
Update! Maybe hes no longer with us?
Videos, not video’s. It’s a simple plural. No apostrophe.
Avoid Bread altogether. Full of unnecessary carbs and still have bad ingredients in it anyway.
THANK YOU Dr. Berry ..... most valuable ! God bless you.
Omg, Dr. Berry, u r so awesome. I always wonder why my sugar raise so high after I ate these fruits. Now it makes sense. 👍
I live in the Caribbean and mangoes make my levels soar..and they are in season now😣😣
Karmini Parsan Yes, apparently tropical fruit do spike blood glucose levels.
Mango is very delicious but very high in sugar too
Yeah I live there too. My favorite is Guanábana!
Karmini Parsan 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❣️
Karmini Parsan I'm gonna test out making a smoothie with whole milk greek yogurt and almonds with my mango and pineapple.
What most people don't understand is that sugary fruit as we see it today did not grow in nature during most of history. It's humans who created the sugary varieties from wild fruits which are mostly bitter and unpalatable, add to that indigestible. Nature generally doesn't provide a lot of natural sources of sweetness with the exception of honey and some berries.
Very nice, doctor Thank you . I think hot tropical climates fruits are usually very sweet. Mangoes, mangosteen, rambutan, lychee, durian, etc.
Very good advice
As a former playschool teacher, we had one child that was type 1. We had to keep diet coke and banana's around for when his blood sugar levels dropped. Also learned that even if the child showed symptoms of having low blood sugar to double check with a blood test before giving him anything. Been a few occasions despite the symptoms, he actually was way too high.
And also found out at one point why he kept spiking. Not because of food. But playdoe! He had a tendancy to lick his fingers after playing with the stuff, before he went and washed his hands. It was the Salt causing the issue. After we banned him from playing with the stuff, he didn't spike as much. Eventually when he got older (a year or so later), under supervision we let him play with the stuff and made sure the moment he was done, that we had him wash his hands.
Diet coke wow that's not recommended for type 2 don't know what doctors would say about this
Yeah. Diet Coke has no carbs so how would that spike sugar. Also how does salt spike sugar? I’m a type 1 diabetic for 46 years and never heard of that. Bananas will definitely spoke it. That’s my go-to fruit for lows.
Smh.... 😔
Great caring teacher!
Aapappaapapaaa
Agree with all of them - including bananas and pineapples, sadly. Watermelon/melon and mangoes are two of the worst for sugar content. Curious to note that amongst the best fruits for diabetics are the berries - strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries.
And the last four are on the totally boring list of fruits. Did anyone pay attention to a doctor of natural medicine from India. His research showed that the blood sugar meters that we use cannot differentiate between the different types of sugars that enter our bodies namely glucose and fructose and would give the same bad reading if a diabetic was to consume too much of either one of them. A blood glucose meter is a machine but our body isn't meaning to say that fruits and the fructose we consume are perfectly alright for a diabetic to consume as the Indian gentleman doctor proved after following through to see if there were any complications that the diabetics on a fruit, vegetable and meat diet faced in the short term and also a long term of five years!
Thank you. What about prunes
The rind of watermelon (or other types of melon) isn't very high in sugars. They can be blended in with other beverages that have insufficient fiber content in order to add fiber to slow down the entry of the glucose into the blood.
Hey do u mean all melons or just the watermelon? What about the green melon also called piel de sapo melon? And what about pears?
@@joeydusanjh9874 fructose is glucose after is digested hence why some people feel bad with these fruits and yeah the body won’t tell the difference too as you mentioned as sugar is sugar as long as it spike is going the same way down the kidneys and liver!! Indians doctors follow science but a real doctor follows life experience on things!!
Great video thankyou
I'm not on a ketogenic diet, but I have reduced my carbs to a negligible level. I am typeII diabetic. I brought my A1C down from 6.8 to 6.3. My other things like cholesterol have gone way down.
I used to eat a banana every day but have not eaten one for several months, nor any other fruit.
I still miss the bananas, though! Lol
My diabetes, according to the VA, is caused by exposure to agent orange.
My grandmother had a good philosophy moderation moderation in everything she lived to 93 and my grandfather Ninety nine
But I'll bet both of your grandparents believed in punctuating sentences.
You're right my grandmother was a teacher however I talk to my phone and it doesn't put punctuation so there you go smart ASS
You can say the words *PERIOD* and *COMMA* as you speak, @@lyndacompton1846. It would save your grandmother from cringing in the grave.
That's a great philosophy as long as a person's body hasn't been metabolically damaged by too many carbs, vegetable seed oils and a wide range of processed carbage. Also, there's no room for moderation if a person has ever been addicted to anything like sugar, alcohol or drugs. How nice that they lived such long lives for their sake and your family's :)
@Ken Jackson , who cares about punctuation? Tangent... ;)
Thanks Dr. Ken guess I'm going to have to modify my diet again. Sadly I was raised on local fruits and veggies growing up down in Orlando. My dad was in the citrus business so we ate & drank our fair share of Oranges/juice/Tangerines/ Grapefruit off the trees in our backyard as well as the drinks he brought home. We ate Watermelon as a treat in the Summer time and spit the seeds off our front porch on Saturdays after doing landscaping. Seems everything my parents gave us was wrong for us.
he doesn't say citrus so idk
They just didn’t know any better since the food pyramid from 50-60 years ago was a fiasco and misinformation takes a long time to recognize and correct
Everything you mentioned was RIGHT!!!!!
@@herbbowler2461 good job on your research and it’s nice to know that I’m helping people and that my research is paying off…let me know what’s going on with you!
