Apparently eating fruit whole or smoothies doesn’t give sugar rush as it is joint with the fruit fibre and pulp. Sugar is released slowly into the body.
Mangoes score 51–56 on the glycemic index (GI) chart, similar to orange juice. The American Diabetes Association
What is the glycemic index?
The glycemic index (GI) tells you how quickly foods containing carbohydrates affect your blood sugar level when eaten by themselves. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), GI scores are rated as:
Low: 55 or below
Moderate: 56 to 69
High: 70 and above
Guava 24
Orange 51
Banana 51
Mango 51
Pineapple 54
Plum 39
Strawberry 4
Peach 42
Nectarine 43
Apricot 46
Grape 46
Dates 46
Eating dates in moderation is unlikely to raise a person's blood sugar excessively, even if they have diabetes. According to one study, dates are a low glycemic index food that does not result in significant increases in blood sugar in people with or without diabetes
Consuming one or even two mangoes a day is fine,” says Bawri, who also advises diabetic patients to avoid juices and eat mangoes with the pulp, as it has fiber which reduces the amount of sugar consumed
Is agave worse than Sugar?The agave plant is native to the Southern United States and Latin America.
Although agave is a new phenomenon in the West, it has been used in Mexico for hundreds — and perhaps thousands — of years.
Traditionally, agave was believed to have medicinal properties. Its sap was also boiled to produce a sweetener known as miel de agave (1).
The sugars in agave are also fermented to make tequila.
Agave is a potential alternative to table sugar and other sweeteners. Its low glycemic index (GI), between 10 and 19 depending on the product.
The higher the GI of a food is, the faster the increase in blood glucose after eating it. Agave has a lower GI than most other sweeteners, which means that it is less likely to cause blood sugar spikes.
