You need to carefully avoid grapes, no idea about melon. Alice

I hadn't any fruit for months because when I tried a few pieces

of cantaloupe and grapes my BS#s went flying and scared me. (chicken little

Grapes may be full of sugar, but I eat them. I eat melon and get normal

readings.

The most important thing I have learned since being diagnosed with diabetes

is that there is no one that can tell me what to eat or not to eat. I can

eat things that other people cannot, other people eat things that I can't.

My monitor tells me what I can eat and cannot eat. LOL

As fruits go, grapes are better than average in sugar content and

glycemic index. A rather large 1 cup serving has 25-30 grams of

carbs. The glycemic index of grapes is about 45, below average for

fruits.

Of course, you always need to see how you react individually, so I

would never tell someone to avoid any food other than concentrated

sweets based solely on how I react.

Yeah, that's so true. I can eat and handle grapes better than an

apple. Only I have a problem limiting myself cuz I love them so much.

hehe

My doctor said the same thing. Even plums, peaches, and nectarines are high in

sugar. That's bad because I am a big fruit eater.

Cherries. And I can eat them. The list says they have a very low glycemic

index fpr fruit, I don't know if that really means much, but I can eat them.

I count them and do not overdo it, of course. It would be very hard if I

couldn't have them.

I love grapes, but can't eat much of them anymore because it gives me diarrhea.

Good old IBS

For some reason apricots don't effect me to much, maybe the fiber

content is different? Donna
