Since my diagnosis last year, things have escalated quietly but noticeably.
First, I stopped drinking soda and cut down sweets by March.
By May, I was dodging birthday cakes and office snacks, which was harder than I thought.
Then I started avoiding all fruit except for one or two types.
But in June, after a routine checkup, my blood sugar readings were unexpectedly high despite my efforts.
That’s when I started tracking everything more obsessively—and stumbled on research saying some fruits raise sugar very fast.
Peaches were on that list.
I sometimes eat them out of habit or craving, like I did today, and it throws off my numbers.
Now, the end of July looms with a follow-up appointment that I don’t want to face.
I’ve been putting off telling Dr. Harris about my blood sugar spikes after eating peaches.
