No, not a general rule at all. Oranges and bananas may cause a spike for
you but everyone. You can work fruit into your diet without causing a
spike. Fruit contains vitamins, minerals and fibre. A well balanced
varied diet is much better than a miserable, unsustainable diet when one
does away with whole food groups.

And my dieticians would disagree with that. I have been told that it is
better for us to eat vegetables than fruit but that most people like fruit
so it is worked into their diets. I can go months at a time without eating
any fruit. I don't usually like fruit. I have been eating some grapes in
past weeks. My body must be needing something that is in grapes because I
only seem to crave foods when I am lacking in something. My Endo. does my
labs and sometimes they will show a deficiency but usually not.
