It’s news to no one that eating fruit is good for your health. That said, if you’re concerned with your sugar intake—be it because of diabetes or some other reason—not all fruits are created equal. For this reason, we spoke to a registered dietician to get some top picks for low-sugar fruits that won’t spike your blood glucose levels.
Before you start snacking on mother nature’s candy, though, the expert says there are a couple other things to keep in mind—namely that when it comes to blood sugar levels, it’s always best to opt for the whole fruit instead of just drinking its juice, and that even low-sugar fruits can impact glucose levels when consumed as “naked carbs” (i.e., all by their lonesome), which is why you’d be wise to pair fruit with a protein or healthy fat whenever possible.
