Apples are considered beneficial for people with diabetes due to their low glycemic index, high fiber content and rich antioxidant profile. Granny Smith apples are often recommended because they are lower in sugar than other varieties. The fiber in apples, especially the skin, helps control blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of sugar. Antioxidants found in apples such as quercetin, chlorogenic acid, and fluorescein can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation—eating whole apples with the skin is recommended for maximum benefits.
