A dietician told me that it was good that I do not like fruit because
diabetics really shouldn't eat it. She said the only reason that they work
it into diabetic diets is that most people like it. She said that you can
pretty much get whatever nutrients that are in fruit in vegetables and
vegetables are better for you. I think one exception might be blueberries.
I do take those in pill form. I freaking hate blueberries.
