None: This is a good question and frequently asked. The real question is how much, not what. In moderation and as part of a balanced, diabetic friendly (watching carbs) diet, any fruit is ok. There are many good resources by the mayo clinic, johns hopkins and others that can provide much more detail.

High glycemic: High glycemic fruits should be avoided since they can spike your blood sugar. These are tropical fruits such as pineapples, mangos, papayas and melons (watermelon, cantaloupe, honey dew).
