Glycemic Index: chart would be helpful. You can search the net for one. The fructose and thus insulin evoking aspect to fruits vary from fruit to fruit with berries being the lowest on the list and fruit juices and watermelon being much higher. Peace and good health. Same process for vegetables.

Sugars: Soft fresh fruits are full of sugar so you need to decrease their consumption. Hard fruit like apple or pear are much healthier. Good Luck
