ORIGINAL RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS

The glycemic response to meals with six different fruits in insulin- dependent diabetics using a home blood-glucose monitoring system

J Hoover-Plow, J Savesky and G Dailey

Glycemic effect of adding 10-g carbohydrate portions of apple, banana, grapes, honeydew, orange, or strawberries to a standard meal on separate occasions was measured in 10 insulin-dependent diabetics monitored at home. The meal comprised 29% of total daily caloric intake and contained green beans, rice, turkey, and margarine (50% carbohydrate, 20% protein, and 30% fat). Blood-glucose response to meals containing grapes, honeydew, orange, or strawberries was slightly higher than meals containing apple, banana, or no fruit and the small amount of starch in apple and banana may have contributed to their lower blood-glucose response compared to the other fruits tested. Age, duration of diabetes, or insulin regimen did not correlate with subjects' responses to fruit.
