Eating too much of a certain type of fruit is frowned upon if you have type 2 diabetes – Express
TYPE 2 diabetes occurs when sugar from your diet isn’t processed as energy by the body’s cells. Instead, it builds up in the bloodstream – and one type of fruit could be making it worse.
When fruit is dried, the loss of water content leads to an even higher concentration of nutrients, as well as sugar.
Be wary of portion sizes when it comes to eating dried fruit, as eating too much could be frowned upon for diabetics.
One heaped tablespoon of raisins, currants or sultanas are equivalent to one portion of dried fruit.
One portion size can also be observed as bone tablespoon of mixed fruit, two figs, three prunes or one handful of dried banana chips.
