Fruits recommended (glycemic index)

[Aforek]

Hello, 

So many delicious fruits in Thailand, with more or less sugar...

for moderate diabetes but which needs to be monitored, which fruits are recommended and how many per day ? 

thanks

Guava

Pomelos

Berries of all types (not Thai, but a good fruit source not too high in GI).

Apples (ditto)

I can't resist mangoes and pineapples in season and we get them free by the basket from various friends and relatives but they are high GI so I keep extra metformin around for that purpose...which might not be a good idea as too much metformin while good for BG control puts a load on yer kidneys and liver...

Papaya.

You need to switch from the glycemic index to glycemic load. More relevant.
