That headline mixes truth with oversimplification.
👉 No fruit “cures” diabetes, but some are better choices for managing
Type 2 Diabetes because of fiber, lower glycemic impact, and portion control.
Here’s a clear, practical guide 👇
🍎 10 Fruits That Are Better for Blood Sugar

👉 Help slow glucose spikes
🍏 2. Apples
