How to Eat Fruits for Diabetics T2: To Avoid Glucose Spike After Eating! Shirley Bovshow #shorts

As a Type 2 diabetic, I had to learn to eat strategically to avoid spiking my glucose (blood sugar). This #shorts video is about how to eat fruits for diabetics to avoid glucose spikes!

Although fruit has carbohydrates that affect blood sugar levels, do this when eating fruit to avoid glucose spikes (blood sugar spikes)!

1. Select a fruit that is on the list of low glycemic index and low glycemic fruits. Today I am eating kumquats.

2. Limit your fruit to a small portion. You can always eat half a serving now and the other half later.

3. Add a good quality protein and fat to the fruit snack to slow down the absorption and digestion of the fruit carbohydrates. Fat and protein act like "speed bumps" and slow down the absorption of fruit carbs! Today I am combining the kumquat fruit with a half-ounce of cheese and a few walnuts.

4. Eat fruit very slowly and alternate between a small bite of fruit, the cheese, and the nuts. Yes, it makes a difference.

Always combine fruit with fats and protein, that is the main food tip in this #shorts video on eating fruit for Type 2 diabetics!

Let's encourage each other to reverse diabetes!
