They come with essential vitamins, minerals, water, and fiber that can help balance out the impact on blood sugar levels. You should focus on limiting added sugars. However, it’s still important to consume fruits in moderation and opting for whole fruits more often than dried ones can help you avoid excessive sugar intake.
