Hi Cindi,

I eat fruit, in moderation, almost every day. I just finished putting

strawberries in the freezer that I picked today. I've got enough strawberries

to

last till next spring. It takes testing to see how they affect you.

Hi ,

Once strawberries have been frozen and thawed, they will be mushy. No way

to prevent it that I'm aware of.

I find that strawberries are very 'diabetic' friendly, at least for me. I

think it's because the fiber. A cup of strawberries has 12 grams of carbs

and 3 grams of fiber. That's a little lower in carbs and a little higher in

fiber than apples. It's a lot higher fiber wise than watermelon is.

fruit scares me still. I tried some grapes and some canteloupe about 3

months ago and my BS# flew up. Have to figure out what fruits I can eat,

but not at that point yet.... :-(

Hi,

When you freeze them, put them individually on cookie sheets and once they are

frozen, bag them, this helps a little.

It depends on the fruit for me. A small apple (or half a big one) is okay

for me, if I eat it with some protein. Berries work great for some reason,

it's almost like they're not even fruit. :-) Grapes are like little sugar

bombs. I really can't tolerate grapes. Ditto for pears and mangoes. I can

eat a kiwi on occasion with not too much trouble, and for some reason I seem

to be able to handle pineapple okay although I have heard that other people

have a lot of trouble with it.

I do strictly limit my fruit intake, though. They tend to be pretty sugary

compared to the rest of my diet these days. (Says she who used to consume a

six-pack of regular Coke per day... but then that's probably how I wound up

here. :-) )

What a good idea Eunice (the strawberries) wish I had bigger freeze space.
