Are apples good for diabetics?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Apples are nutritious as they contain fiber, vitamins (A,B,C,E,K) and other multiminerals. Even though they have carbohydrates and sugar, the sugar content in apple i.e., fructose is different from refined sugars which pose a threat for blood sugar. Moreover, apple's glycemic index is low which makes it a good addition for diabetics.

Apples can be a healthy part of managing diabetes for a 50-year-old woman. They are rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, which can help support overall health. However, because apples contain natural sugars, it's important to consume them in moderation and as part of a balanced diet.
Key points to consider:
- Fiber content: Apples have soluble fiber, which can help slow the absorption of sugar and improve blood sugar control.
- Portion control: Eating one medium apple per serving is generally advisable to avoid spikes in blood sugar.
- Whole fruit vs. juice: Whole apples are better than apple juice because they contain fiber and have a lower glycemic impact.
- Balanced diet: Incorporate apples alongside other low-glycemic foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
Always monitor your blood sugar levels to see how apples affect you personally, and discuss your diet with your healthcare provider or a dietitian to tailor recommendations to your specific needs.

I'm really concerned about my height as I feel it's not enough. I'm 22 now, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to increase it at this age. Could you share some advice or recommend any methods that might help?
While height is mostly determined by genetics and typically stops increasing after the age of 22, you can still focus on improving posture, strengthening your muscles, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Stretching exercises like yoga or pilates may help you appear taller and more confident.

I had laparoscopic ovarian drilling done last week and my doctor said I can start trying to conceive next month. What supplements or diet changes should I focus on to improve my chances of getting pregnant naturally? I want to make sure I'm doing everything right to boost fertility after the surgery
Yes. Your chances of Ovulation will increase and so will your chances of conception. IUI is just a shade better than natural conception because it is timed nicely according to Ovulation. Also the semen is prepared. Even if you go for IUI you should continue your efforts for natural conception.
