or canned fruit contains roughly 15 grams of carbohydrate, although portions vary by fruit.
That doesn’t mean everyone with diabetes needs exactly the same portion.
Individual needs vary, particularly depending on medications, activity, glucose targets, and the person’s overall meal plan.
Try Pairing Fruit With Other Foods
Fruit doesn’t have to be eaten alone.
You can combine it with foods containing protein or healthy fats, depending on your meal plan.
For example:
- Berries with plain yogurt
- An orange with a small serving of nuts
- Apple slices with unsweetened nut butter
