Fruit?

[Guest guest]

Sonya, has your experience matched the book? My experience says that

if I eat dried fruit my BG goes up. In fact most of the truit makes my

BG go up a lot.

Hi ,

I am a little over 3 weeks post diagnosis, but so far, I've been able

to eat apples, strawberries, oranges, raisins, blueberries, and

grapes without any rise in BGs. I don't care much for dried fruit,

never have, plus there are a few other fruits on the list which I

don't care for. But so far so good, no problems with me eating

fruits.

One of my favorites right now is Strawberries with fat free whipped

cream. YUM.
