Fruits like Mango, chikku, banana, custard apple, jackfruit and grapes should be avoided by diabetic patients.
Fruits like apple, orange, pear, papaya, peach watermelon, pineapple, guava, kiwi, pomegranate can be consumed by diabetic patient but all these should be consumed in limited amounts and most preferably during mid morning or mid evening time.
Avoid intake of fruit juices (made of any fruit) and over ripe fruit which contains excessive sweetness.
