Hi Dr. Wanna know dat how do we know glycemic index of fruits for diabetic persons. Is there any list available mentioning the glycemic index of various fruit items or any other method.

Lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. You can get the glycemic index of almost every fruit and every other food Thanks.

You may search the net for that. Though you may not find an exclusive list. But the simple baseline would be to understand that whichever food you eat should be healthy and nutritious. Eat seasonal fruits in moderation (do not overeat those that are sweet in taste ). Avoid junk food, processed and packaged food (including sodas and juices) as they may have added sugars, salt and preservatives. Natural and organic foods are better options. You can use a variety of food choices so that you can maintain a balanced diet. See the calorie content and consume according to your needs (to maintain ideal weight ). A dietitian would be able to guide you with his / her expertise. Lastly go for regular health check up with your doctor and do the reports as advised, and exercise every day.
