SulaBlue: I can eat one or two pieces of whole fruit a day now but in

the beginning I could only eat a few berries occassionally. This was a

real problem for me as I always cared more for fruit than processed

sweets. Fruit was as sweet as I liked to have. I remember thinking

one time what a stinking disease it was where someone had to limit

eating wonderful, healthy delicious fresh grapes! (It was grape season

& I wanted more than just a few <g>)

Now because of good control I can tolerate fruit somewhat better but yes

this is the most utterly frustrating disease around--it is said if you

know one diabetic you know one diabetic that is all!

I also miss fruit. I remember saying as a kid that I liked meat and fruit

(maybe I was a hunter-gatherer in disguise).

What I do is stir a few berries into unsweetened yogurt (that I make myself)

with added stevia. This gives me the fruit flavor without a lot of the fruit

sugars.

Gretchen: I do that too & I also now freeze fresh grapes & as Helen

suggested for bananas, it takes me so long to eat one that just a few

will satisfy now <g>
