What fruits can diabetics eat?

Patient's question:

My daughter took me for a health check-up before the New Year. The health check report said my blood sugar was a bit high. I personally dislike eating much fruit. Now my daughter told me to try to control my diet and portion sizes. I would like to ask the doctor what fruits diabetics can eat.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, considering impaired glucose tolerance is a common condition in endocrinology. If it is well-controlled, it can be managed similarly to a normal person. If it is not well-controlled, it may progress into diabetes. It is recommended that you try to eat more vegetables and fewer staple foods in your daily life. You can consume some low-sugar fruits, such as grapefruit, lemons, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. I vaguely remember that it is beneficial to engage in more activity after meals for about half an hour to enhance glucose consumption.
