Green apple is considered one of the few fruits that combine high nutritional value with a low sugar level, making it an ideal choice for diabetics. This fruit has a low glycemic index (about 39), meaning it releases sugar slowly into the bloodstream and prevents sudden spikes in glucose levels. Additionally, it contains soluble fiber that slows carbohydrate absorption and stabilizes blood sugar levels. Antioxidants in green apples help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, protecting pancreatic cells and improving insulin sensitivity. Therefore, eating the apple with its skin is one of the best ways to reap all these benefits. To maximize benefits, it is recommended to consume one medium portion of apple, taking into account total carbohydrate intake, and to avoid apple juice, which lacks fiber and quickly raises blood sugar.
