Are mangoes good for diabetes? Indian studies challenge conventional wisdom
Published: 8/16/2025

Recent studies challenge the belief that mangoes should be avoided by people with diabetes, suggesting controlled mango consumption may actually improve blood sugar and metabolic health in those with type 2 diabetes. A pilot study compared popular Indian mango varieties to white bread, showing lower glycemic responses. Another trial found that replacing breakfast bread with mango led to improved diabetes markers. Experts recommend moderation and pairing mangoes with protein or fiber for health benefits.
