Ep. 80 | Should You Limit or Avoid Fruit if You Are Eating Plant-Based with Diabetes?

Can you eat fruit if you have diabetes? Fruit is often seen to contain lots of sugar and carbs, so many people are afraid to eat them. You may have even noticed your blood sugars getting high when you snack on an orange. So, what’s the truth on this?

Yes, moving to plant-based eating can help your body in so many ways, like lowering cholesterol, blood pressure and even weight loss. But since you’ll be eating more carbs like fruits and whole grains, won’t that make your glucose levels go ‘through the roof’ and worsen your diabetes?

If that’s what you’re worried about, let’s talk about it. In this episode, I’ll show you that yes, you CAN have your fruit and eat it…and research is showing that there can even be benefits to your blood sugars by including them in your meals. There’s also a secret factor that you may not be aware of which can have an even bigger impact on blood sugar levels. Learn more inside this episode!
