🥭 Can you eat mangoes if you have diabetes? 🥭

YES! 🤗

Having diabetes doesn’t mean you need to avoid delicious fruits like mango. The key is portion size and balance.

✨ Mango is a source of fibre, vitamin C and vitamin A.
✨ A portion of around 80g provides approximately 12g of carbohydrate.
✨ Enjoy it as part of a balanced meal or pair it with protein, such as Greek yoghurt, to help make it more satisfying.

The important thing is to consider the total amount of carbohydrate, rather than avoiding fruit because it contains naturally occurring sugar.

🥭 Diabetes-friendly tip: Enjoy a sensible portion of fresh mango rather than large amounts of mango juice or dried mango, which are more concentrated sources of sugar.

No foods need to be completely off-limits — it’s about portion, balance and enjoying your food 💛

A morning walk with friends, fresh air, and conversations that nourish just as much as food ☀️

Surrounded by the most beautiful hues of flowers 🌸💜🌼 — a reminder to slow down and stay present.

As a dietitian, I always come back to the basics: consistent movement, eating health, time outdoors, all play a vital role in overall health.

Walking supports cardiovascular health, metabolic function, and mental wellbeing — holistic health 💚

Sometimes, it’s the simplest habits that have the biggest impact 💫
