Myth #4: Fruit is bad for people with diabetes
Fact: Contrary to popular belief, fruit is part of a healthy diet for people with diabetes. Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide recommends a minimum of seven servings of vegetables and fruit a day for adults. The natural sugars in fruit contain calories and raise blood sugar, so choose up to three servings of fruit per day and focus more on vegetables. Also, talk to your dietitian or diabetes educator about how to include fruit in your diet.
