 Oranges: Despite the fact that an orange contains sugar, it also contains other compounds that help control blood glucose, which makes it good for a diabetes patient. The soluble fibre present in an orange thickens as it's being digested. This in turn slows down the sugar absorption, offering better control of your blood sugar. |
