8 Best Fruits for a Diabetes-Friendly Diet

1. Berries Are a Refreshing Treat With Disease-Fighting Antioxidants
Whether you love blueberries, strawberries, or any other berry, experts have given you the all-clear to indulge. According to the ADA, they're a diabetes superfood because they're packed with antioxidants and fiber.

2. Tart Cherries Tackle Inflammation
One cup of tart cherries with pits has 52 calories and 12.6 g of carbs, per the USDA. And these fruits may be especially good against inflammation, thanks to their antioxidants, which were shown to fight heart disease, cancer, and other diseases, in review from the March 2018 Nutrients. Tart cherries can be purchased fresh, canned, frozen, or dried

3 Sweet, Juicy Peaches Pack Electrolyte-Boosting Potassium
Fresh, fragrant peaches are a warm-weather treat you can include in your diabetes-friendly diet. One medium peach contains 59 calories and 14 g of carbohydrates, according to the USDA. It also has 10 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C, which makes it a good source of that nutrient, and it’s also a source of potassium, with 285 mg.

4 Apricots Are Scrumptious, Fiber-Rich Little Bites, Apricots are a sweet summer staple and a wonderful addition to your diabetes meal plan. One apricot has just 17 calories and 4 g of carbohydrates, per the USDA.

5 Apples Offer a Quick, Fibrous, Vitamin C–Filled Snack
An apple a day really might keep the doctor away. Toss one in your purse or tote bag if you're on the go; a medium-size apple is a great fruit choice, with 95 calories and 25 g of carbs, notes the USDA. If you’re trying to stay under 15 g of carbohydrates per serving, enjoy half.

6 Oranges Are a Juicy, Refreshing Source of Vitamin C
Eat one medium orange and you'll get nearly all the vitamin C you need in a day (63 mg, making it an excellent source). This mouthwatering choice comes in at 16 g of carbohydrates and 65 calories, per the USDA.

7 Choose Pears for Easy Snacking, Plus Ample Fiber
Because pears are an excellent source of fiber — one medium pear has nearly 5.5 g, per the USDA — they make a wise addition to your diabetes meal plan.
