    The diabetes nurse who used to be at our GP practice said that every fruit was ok, within reason, but avoid too many grapes and bananas which were over ripe. I took a diabetic friend some fresh bananas, when he was in hospital, and he refused them saying they were bad for you. The other day, a newspaper item said that sweet melons and mango are to be avoided along with another fruit which I don't like so can't remember.
    Specialists don't seem to agree, so I go for the within reason approach, but prefer fruit to veg, especially frozen veg (of which I only like crucifers).
    There's lots of things that over the years we've been told are bad for us, then HEY! Actually, in moderation they are beneficial.
    I take no notice now. I've lived 7 decades and my lifestyle choices haven't done me any harm.
    I'm not diabetic, don't have high blood pressure or heart or joint problems.
    I eat grapefruit, bananas, mango, melon and lots of other fruit and vegetable.
    And meat.
