Most of the sugars in fruit are fructose.... these are metabolized slowly and therefore are considered "safer" for diabetics. They still have calories however, but should not move glucose readings quickly.
There are some other food considerations too....
The nightshade veggies contain solanine--which is an alkaloidal poison. It is being thought today that this is not eliminated by the body, and can become cumulative over time. They can cause burning and stinging in the skin, long after consuming them.
Nightshades are tomatoes (also a histamine releaser), potatoes, peppers (all of them), eggplant, and some spices like paprika.
Never eat a green potato... cutting off the green is not enough...the solanine can be in the white portion of a green potato.
Many people use hot sauces and peppers, for taste variety...and in fact these may be causing many paresthesias for some.
