“I had a mango yesterday night”, he said suggesting the possible cause for the raised Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) level.
“I usually do not have fruits, but yesterday I had to” he continued as if he had committed a grave mistake.
When I told him, “You know something? Diabetics are NOT restricted from eating fruits”, he looked surprised and the look on his face was a familiar one. He wanted to know more on whether he could eat fruits. The poor man had been a diabetic for the past 5 years and he has been restricting himself from all kinds of fruits. I had to spent 10 minutes explaining the conditions to be followed if a diabetic person wants to eat fruits.
