watermelon or strawberries
 

Does anyone have a straight if a diabetic (Type II) can eat watermelon or strawberries?:confused:

My bet would be fresh, in season strawberries with moderation and avoid watermelon if possible. You may want to learn about the glycemic value of the foods you chose to consume. Study,exercise, think, be well!

Fresh 1" strawberries are 0.5 grams carbs. each.

I stay away from water melon.

So does anyone know how much sugar each strawberry have

Fresh (small) 1" strawberries are 0.3 grams of sugar each.

I have diabetes and I am looking for an app for my iPhone to help guide me oh food choices. Does anyone have any ideas I need to get my numbers down

There are several to choose from and depending on what you want to do. If you are looking to carb count try the GoMeals App and if you are looking to carb count and lose weight try the Lose It! App, both are free. There are other that I am sure are better, but these are no cost. I hope it helps.

I would not eat fruit by itself. I try to have some protein with it, usually a few nuts or some string cheese

I use the Lose It app. I really like it. It has made me more aware of how foods stack up nutritionally.
