Let me tell you that the same thing i not applied to every person, different foods can be the reason of increase in blood sugar level in their body. May be any ripe fruit can affect your blood sugar level in your body. So in short you always need to take about fruits you are taking. Always take foods and fruits which are healthy for your body.
