Mr. lybrate-user, To know whether blood glucose is well controlled or not, it is necessary to test fasting (should be closer to 100 mg), PP (150 to 160 mg) and HbA1c% (<6.8%). By only checking random it is difficult to know if the control is good or not. Fruits like water melon, orange, sweet lime, apple, pear, pomegranate, guava and papaya can be eaten but only about 100 g a day with good blood glucose control. Sweet potato is not a fruit. It contains a lot of sucrose and other carbs. Thanks.

Hello, You can take all the above mentioned fruits in limitation. Eat moderate to high protein diet, with very good quality proteins in it. Include lots, of green leafy vegetables, coconut water, freshly made, salads, sprouts in your diet.

Since you are worried about sperm I think you need to find cause for low motility. Get yourself checked by someone having experience in male infertility or urologist. Control your sugar and don't smoke. Rule out local cause by check. All fruits you have asked can be taken but not more than 200-250 grams. Seasame seeds in small amount can be taken. Sweet potato can be taken occasionally as it is rich in fibre so good for diabetes but take only one small helping.
