Dried fruit

Fruit is a great source of potassium and vitamin C, two essential vitamins and minerals. Fruit that has been dried has higher concentrations of these nutrients because drying causes water to be lost from the fruit. Unfortunately, it also becomes more concentrated in sugar.

27.3 grams of carbohydrates, including 1.4 grams of fiber, are present in one cup (151 grams) of grapes. A cup (145 grams) of raisins, on the other hand, has 115 grams of carbohydrates, 5.4 of which are from fiber. As a result, raisins have more than four times the amount of carbs that grapes do. Similar to fresh fruit, other varieties of dried fruit have more carbs. You don't have to completely give up fruit if you have diabetes. Sticking to low-sugar foods, such as fresh berries or a small apple will help you stay healthy and keep your blood sugar levels within the ideal range.
