One question that often comes up is can people with diabetes eat mangoes? Yes, people with diabetes can eat mangoes — but in moderation.
Mangoes have natural sugars and a relatively high glycemic index (around 50–60), so portion control is key. A small slice or about ½ cup of fresh mango can usually fit into a diabetic meal plan without causing a big spike in blood sugar.
Here are a few quick tips:
Pair mango with protein or healthy fat (like nuts or yogurt) to reduce glucose spikes.
Avoid mango juice or dried mango — they spike blood sugar quickly.
Always monitor blood sugar after trying it, as responses vary by person.
