Taking dates on regular patient will increase blood sugar level as its sugar content is high. You can take other dryfruits like walnut/almonds /pista which are not sweet.

Hello, A diabetic can have upto 2 to 3 dates per day, without problems. The quantity fluctuated on how well do you control sugar levels.

lybrate-user, Yes eating dates repeatedly in substantial number will definitely increase blood glucose level. So one can consume just 2 or 3 dates a day, that too when blood glucose is well in check. Thanks.
