Hi Dates are rich in fibre and many minerals which are quite beneficial for diabetics. If your diabetes is under good control, you can take 2-3 fresh dates per day making sure your diabetes is not shooting up with careful monitoring.

Hi, 2 dates can be taken in a day if the sugar is under control. Regards, Uma.
