When we want to eat a balanced diet and monitor our blood sugar levels, we sometimes adopt certain eating habits. One of them, which we think is healthy, turns out to be terrible for our blood sugar levels and causes our blood sugar levels to skyrocket.
Let us pay attention to blood sugar because you have diabetes or simply to monitor your figure and avoid gaining a few extra pounds, diet is very important because it is a natural way to regulate it, or even reduce it if necessary. To reduce its blood sugar level, for example, we can favor foods that lower blood sugar levels and prevent weight gain. Among them, we find in particular a dried fruit ideal for stabilizing blood sugar levels and an inexpensive fruit which reduces blood sugar levels. But if fruits are good for health and for our blood sugar levels, a very common eating habit on the other hand would be very harmful for blood sugar levels according to a dietitian nutritionist.
Among its recommendations for adopting an ideal diet for blood sugar levels, the nutritionist Pascal Nourtier specifies that it is “highly recommended toavoid eating fruit alone BETWEEN meals”, because this snack that we think is healthy and good for our health would cause blood sugar spikes. This bad eating habit would therefore be very harmful for the way our body responds to insulin. So forget about fruit to snack on during the morning or as a snack during the afternoon!

Blood sugar: when to eat fruit to avoid skyrocketing blood sugar levels?
Even if they are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants good for the body and much better than industrial cakes bought in supermarkets, fruits should not constitute a daily snack between meals. The reason is simple: they remain very sugary foods which will raise your blood sugar level in the same way as certain less healthy foods. To limit this impact and avoid blood sugar spikes which cause weight gain and blood sugar levels to skyrocket, the dietitian nutritionist recommends “Rather consume them at the end of these (meals), this, to avoid peaks and improve insulin response” of our body. A simple good habit to adopt, but one that makes all the difference!
