Which fruits and nuts are safe for diabetes?
Fruits with a low glycaemic index, such as apples, pears, berries, guava, oranges, and pomegranate, are safer for people with diabetes as they do not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar. Nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and cashews are safe in small portions, but salted or sugar-coated varieties should be avoided. High-sugar fruits such as mangoes, grapes, bananas, and lychees should be limited.
