He left and later that night, he said "The grapes were good I need some more". I said "what do you mean you need more" he then told me "I have been snacking on them as I drive the bag is about empty". I then asked him who the man was I had sat next to in our diabetic classes who should KNOW that a serving is 17 grapes! Yeah he got cut off so....

Well, silly dh, for a diabetic fruits are full of natural sugar so you still have to be careful right? But as far as the better ones, I consider ones like berries and cantaloupe, mango, but not bananas. They love bananas the most and bananas certainly have their place but the dcks need to be adventurous.
