There is rarely a need to limit/eliminate fruit from the diet (even as a diabetic-as pointed out). In fact, eliminating fruit from the diet places one at at risk for missing some of the key cancer fighting nutrients provided by this group. While it is true that the intake of fruit does cause an increase in blood sugar it is no more so than whole grains or starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes. Wild fluctuations in blood sugar/insulin levels are a concern but not the normal rise and fall that results from a well balanced diet.
