• One of the top most causes of deaths in the
  United States is Diabetes. It is very important
  to take the right kind of foods which are high in
  nutrients and low in glycemia to prevent or cure
  diabetes. Fruits are a rich source of
  low-glycemic food. Whether frozen or fresh,
  fruits are packed with nutrients and can also
  satisfy the sweet cravings. It is best to avoid
  canned fruit or opt for the one which doesnt
  contain added sugar.

Fresh fruit

• As advised by home care experts at Home Care
  Assistance, the diabetic friendly diet contains
  3-4 portions of fruits daily. It is important for
  you to include these 4 portions of fruit in your
  senior loved ones diet plan. These fruits can be
  consumed in the original form or they can also be
  used in smoothies and low-fat milkshakes.

  effective for diabetes.
