The best choices of fruit are any that are fresh, frozen or tinned without added sugars. If you are choosing tinned fruit, look for 'unsweetened', 'no added sugar' or in 'natural juices' and, preferably, drain the liquid off before eating.
If fresh pears aren't a good option for you, canned ones can be a good alternative. But read the label carefully. You don't want ones packed in light or heavy syrup. That's another way of saying “sugar added.” Instead, look for labels that say “packed in water,” “packed in their own juices,” or “100% juice.”
Fruits canned in heavy syrup coat healthy pieces of fruit with loads of added sugar. One-half cup of pears canned in their own juice provides 60 calories and 12 grams of sugar. However, when packed in heavy syrup, the same amount contains 100 calories and 19 grams of sugar.
Avoid fruit that's tinned in syrup – even the light syrup has a lot of sugar. Avoid veg tinned in salt water (or brine) – too much salt raises you blood pressure, which puts you at risk of cardiovascular disease.
Adding canned and dried fruits are a great way to add more fruit to your diet. Fruits contain essential vitamins and minerals that your body needs. Healthy canned fruit options include tomatoes, pumpkins, and tangerines. Some healthy dried fruits include apricots, prunes, and raisins.

Look for canned peaches (or other fruits such as mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks) packed in their own juice to minimize added sugar, says Waddill.
For most produce, the canned variety is nutritionally comparable with fresh – there's certainly little difference in the macronutrients, which include protein, carbohydrates and fats. In terms of vitamins and minerals, there may be slight variances.
Generally speaking, yes, it's OK to eat honey if you have diabetes. But you should consume it in moderation. Although honey has a lower glycemic index (GI) than table sugar, it still contains sugar. And any type of sugar will raise your blood glucose levels.
On a whole fruit basis because of the high water content of kiwifruit, a 100g kiwifruit would be equivalent to about 5g (1 teaspoon) of glucose in its effect on blood glucose; thus, kiwifruit have low glycemic impact and are suitable for those with diabetes.

Grapes are adored, nourishing fruits and are safe for diabetics. People can eat them and add them to their diabetic diets as they do not harm or spike glucose levels. Consuming grapes help to reduce the susceptibility to developing type 2 diabetes.
Excess potassium: If you are on a potassium-restricted diet for diabetic nephropathy (diabetes-related kidney disease), you may need to restrict your intake of citrus fruits, bananas, apricots, and certain melons. These fruits are loaded with potassium.
You don't need to cut out sugar from your diet if you have diabetes. And while we don't know exactly what causes type 1 diabetes, but it isn't linked to lifestyle, and so sugar doesn't directly cause the condition.
With so few carbohydrates, a high fiber content, and healthful fat, people with diabetes can enjoy an avocado in moderation without the stress of raising their blood sugar levels. Pairing an avocado with other foods may help reduce blood sugar spikes too.
