Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The ripe mango is very sweet offers a large amount of calories. Hence, it is not good for a person with diabetes, Occasionally a small piece can be eaten, but not more. It is good if he is refusing to eat it. Thanks.

If your diabetes is under control that if fasting is 100 mg pp 140 mg, you may eat one slice of mango a day. Please remember any indulgence is dangerous for sugar levels.
It is important to limit the calorie under the standard range. So, if you eat more calories than your daily calorie needs, you will gain weight. Mangoes are good for health when you eat two to three in a day. A medium-sized ripe mango has about 135 calories. Let's say, you are eating 5 meals a day then you can replace one of your meals with 3 mangoes (400 calories). Also, mangoes contain more sugar than some other fruits, so consider enjoying mango in moderation.

If your dad is having diabetes, then mangoes are out of question. Plus the details given by you also show that he is over weight. Excess weight make sugar control more difficult. Hence he has to follow diet restrictions more meticulously. Very occasionally a single slice of mango may be had nothing more.
Avoid sweetened fruit like banana,mango,litchi, chickoo,sapota, seethaphal jack fruit,grape etc. can have fruits like guava, pineapple,papaya, orange, mousambi, strawberry, watermelon, pomegranate
