Hello lybrate-user, basically it depends on the sugar levels of patient and also on how the patient is maintaining his sugar levels. I will suggest its better if diabetic patient avoids banana as its ability to increase the sugar levels in blood is high. Instead of banana diabetic patients can have apple, pear, papaya, small amount of watermelon, muskmelon, oranges, sweetlime etc.
