After eating fruits check sugar levels after 2 hrs and if above range then decide . If you are having diet control and medicine properly then 4-5 pieces won’t affect but still best judgement will come if you check sugar level 2 hrs after consumption

Small quantity of these will not harm your blood sugar . If ur sugar HbA1c is within normal range if not done kindly do . Supplements are only needed if one is deficient. Otherwise normal balanced diet is ok. Kindly get your serum calcium and iron levels done then only take iron and calcium supplements.
