Oranges

Because of their fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, oranges are a nutritional powerhouse. This citrus fruit is perfectly healthy for diabetics when consumed in moderation.

Oranges are better for diabetics since they cause a slow rise in blood sugar levels because they have a low GI. Numerous vitamins and minerals found in oranges may be especially useful for diabetics. Approximately 91% of the Daily Value (DV) for vitamin C is contained in a medium-sized orange. This vitamin also has antioxidant properties, which protect your body from oxidative stress. Notably, high blood sugar levels result in oxidative stress, which can harm cells and lead to disease. If you have diabetes, you may have an increased need for vitamin C to help reverse oxidative stress.
