The key is to maintain the intake of different types of fruits. A study by the Journal of Diabetes Investigation in 2015 concluded that the risk of type 2 diabetes can be decreased with a higher intake of fruit, especially berries, and green leafy vegetables, yellow vegetables, and cruciferous vegetables. Mrs Trinidade explains that different fruits have different sugar levels called glycemic index but the amount of fibre and sugar that fruits contains may affect your system. She adds, “Fruits with lower glycemic index fruits can be consumed. We should not combine fruits with our meals because meals are already rich in carbs and fruits being high in carbs may increase your blood sugar levels. So it should be eaten separately.”
