Hey all👋🏾. Did you know that fruits have varying amounts of sugar content? If you are diabetic, you should avoid certain types of fruits that can lead to high spikes in your blood sugar levels. The National Institute of Diabetic and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) recommends that people with diabetes should avoid fruit juices or canned fruits with added sugar. Fruit blends like smoothies also have high sugar content. This is important to know too if you are trying to loose weight.
