Top 5 low glycemic fruits

The glycemic index is a measure of the effects of foods on blood sugar levels. When you are trying to keep blood sugar levels stable, it is important to choose low glycemic foods that will not cause spikes in your blood sugar. The top 5 lowest glycemic fruits are...

5. Cantaloupe

4. Avocado (yes, it is a fruit)

3. Grapefruit

2. Plums

1. Berries (especially strawberries) 

You may notice that all of these fruits are also high in fiber. Fiber will help slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.  If keeping your blood sugar levels low is important to you, pick a snack off this list, and be well.
