Pineapple for Diabetes: A Good Choice?
Top Replies
Pineapple is indeed packed with vitamins C and A, manganese, and dietary fiber, which can contribute to a balanced diet. However, like other fruits, it contains natural sugars. People with diabetes should consume it in moderation and account for its carbohydrate content to avoid potential blood sugar spikes.
Absolutely! I've found that pairing pineapple with a protein source, such as cottage cheese or a handful of almonds, can help slow down sugar absorption and minimize its impact on blood sugar levels. It's all about balance and moderation.
There seems to be a misconception that people with diabetes can't eat any fruit at all. That's not true! Fruits like pineapple can be a part of a healthy, balanced diet when consumed in moderation and as part of an overall diabetes management plan.
