If you have diabetes, you should eat fruit 1–2 hours before or after meals

It is believed that eating fruit separately from meals helps digestion, which is important because patients with diabetes frequently experience digestive issues.

Fact: The only distinction that may be made is that fruit's carbs and sugar may enter the system more quickly, which is exactly what people with diabetes try to avoid. Consider including fruit with a meal or snack rather than eating it alone. Your stomach may release food into the small intestine more slowly when you eat fruit along with food that is high in protein, fiber, or fat. The benefit of this for someone with diabetes is that less sugar is taken at once, which may lead to a smaller rise in blood sugar levels overall. Studies have shown that soluble fiber, which is included in fruit, can reduce the rise in blood sugar after a meal by 25% with just 7.5 grams consumed. Look for fruits with a low glycemic index if you have diabetes because they will cause your blood sugar to rise more gradually. These include most fruits besides melons, pineapple, and dried fruit
