Peaches

If peaches are one of your favorite foods, you may be wondering if they are beneficial or harmful for diabetics. Fortunately, if you enjoy this sweet fruit, you don't need to worry because most diabetics can eat peaches.

Peaches are a healthy option for those with diabetes because they won't trigger a blood glucose spike. Peaches are high in potassium, fiber, vitamins A and C, and they are low in fat. Diabetics can eat fruits with a glycemic index under 55 without risk. Depending on size, a peach has a GI that ranges from 28 to 56. Just keep in mind that the ADA recommends only consuming peaches that are fresh, frozen, or canned without any added sugar. By doing this, you may stay away from any extra or processed carbohydrates that could raise your blood sugar levels.
