The primary energy source in the blood is glucose. If a particular food item has a high glycemic index, it means that it releases energy into the blood at a quicker rate and vice versa<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au\/health\/healthyliving\/carbohydrates-and-the-glycaemic-index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1<\/a><\/sup>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A faster energy release means a steeper spike in blood sugar levels, something that is not conducive to a person who has diabetes. Since they already have trouble with controlling the blood sugar in their bodies, sudden crests and troughs make their condition worse and put them at a higher risk of other organ failures. Therefore, it is advised that people with diabetes eat fruits with a low glycemic index, i.e., fruits suitable for diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fruits are a healthy snack option for diabetics because the sugar, fructose, present in them is not readily absorbed by the human body. Therefore, the spike in blood sugar is gradual and good for the system. Also, fruits provide an excellent source of fibre and help you feel fuller for longer. This, in turn, leads to proper weight management and prevents obesity. Here are ten fruits for people with diabetes that have a low glycemic index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group fact-box\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Did You Know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Low glycemic index (GI) fruits have a GI score of 55 or less. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au\/health\/healthyliving\/carbohydrates-and-the-glycaemic-index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">source: Better Health Victoria<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low GI fruits have a slower digestion and absorption rate, leading to a gradual rise in blood sugar levels. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au\/health\/healthyliving\/carbohydrates-and-the-glycaemic-index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">source: Better Health Victoria<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low GI fruit consumption is associated with lower HbA1c, blood pressure, and CHD risk in type 2 diabetes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3017317\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">source: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Low_Glycemic_Index_Fruits\"><\/span><strong>14 Low Glycemic Index Fruits<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Pears\"><\/span><strong>1.
