Fruit is a valuable component of the diabetes diet. Attention should be paid to apportioning in the meal. A cup of seasonal fruit complements the vegetables, simple carbohydrates, fat and protein on the plate. The glucose response to a mixed meal as described in my book A Blueprint for Healthy Eating: Your Diet Guide for the New Millennium (2nd edition) is smooth without exaggerated peaks. Fruit consumed alone is unchecked in its absorption and generally contributes to hyperglycemia.
