Berries,apples,pears: Berries are high in fiber which will delay absorption of sugars
apples contain fiber and flavonoid phloetin
prckly pears again have soluble fiber tha slows down the absorption of dietary sugars
grapefruits and guava as well
but you have to cosume the whole fruits and not fruit juices, which may raise your sugar and not reduce it.

Fruits ^ sugar: All fruits contain fructose, a naturally occuring sugar, which gets converted to glucose, and will increase a person's blood sugar after they eat fruit. That being said, fruits do vary in how much & how fast they raise someone's blood sugar. This can be quantified as glycemic index (gi).

NOT good: Hi. You should probably see an endocrinologist. You need to have a doctor define a goal blood sugar (BG) range for you and make sure you have the tools necessary to control your diabetes well. Chronically poor BG control increases your risk of things you REALLY don't want to have (blindness, kidney failure, nerve pain, amputations, heart attack, stroke, infections). I suggest you see a specialist.

Imple sugars in liqu: Lich as thce but any real fruit juice is loaded with sugar and is absorbed rapidly. There are also a number of products such as glucose tabs. That can be utilized. In severe hypoglycemia an injectable medicine called glucagon may be utilized.Caution with glucagon it can rarely cause severe elevation of blood pressure.

Diabetic vs Non diab: If you are not diabetic your average blood sugar is about 90-95 (includes fasting and non-fasting). If you are a diabetic keeping your average between 100 to 140 means you are doing a good job.
