Good answer. You really need to experiment and test to see what works for

you. You can also check the glycemic values of various fruits to get some

idea of expected relative differences. Because of the concentrated sugar

content (and resultant BG rise), I rarely drink fruit juice (other than OJ

occasionally for medicinal/hypo purposes) and don't eat too much fruit but

have found that some of the safer ones, for me, are raspberries,

blueberries, cantaloupe and honeydew. As a T1 I have to dose (insulin)

anyway so if I occasionally crave some kind of fruit I may eat a small to

moderate amount and adjust insulin dosage accordingly.

Try having the fruit with somethin fatty; fat taken with carbs slows down the

absorption of the latter. And whole fruit only--not juice; the fiber in the

skin and pulp will also help.
