Whole fruit sugars are bound to fiber to prevent glucose surges leading to diabetes risk.

 A study conducted analysed 187.382 men and women participants who were free of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer at the outset of the study.

 Researchers used dietary questionnaires every four years to determine overall fruit and fruit juice consumption and frequency. Specifically the team focused on consumption of 10 fruits to collect their results. These 10 fruits were: 

• Grapes or raisins
• Peaches
• Plums/Apricots
• Prunes
• Bananas
• Cantaloupe
• Apples or pears
• Oranges
• Grapefruit
• Strawberries
• Blueberries

 The analysis of the findings suggested that while fruits are recommended as a measure for diabetes prevention, previous studies have found mixed results for total fruit consumption. However some fruits are recognized significantly towards lowering the risk of diabetes. The scientists determined that people who ate at least two servings each week of certain whole fruits, particularly blueberries, grapes and apples reduced their risk for Type 2 Diabetes.
