Are bananas ok?

Question

I keep reading different things about bananas and GD. Do you eat them? If so how much and in what? I have my seminar with the nutritionist tomorrow. Thank you

Answer

Gd is funny in the way that there is no one set of rules some foods are fine for some and cause spikes in others. Like I have a bowl of fresh fruit everyday and it helps keep my levels normal. But that may not be the same for you.

Answer

Some people with GD can tolerate then (meaning they don't spike their sugars) some cant. It really just depends on the person. They'll give you a week or so to figure out what you can toletate, experiment with different meals and snacks and foods. I can have top Ramen and I'm completely fine, numbers in the 90s or low 100 (has to be under 120). Some people will est top Ramen and come out like at 150. Everyone is different

Answer

I've been avoiding them because they are so high in carbs. But half of one shouldn't be too bad on the sugar levels. I just avoid them. I choose other fruits like strawberries and blueberries. And the occasional apples. I miss being able to eat fruit whenever and however much I wanted.
