A 50-year-old woman with diabetes can generally eat apples, but portion control and monitoring blood sugar levels are important. Apples contain natural sugars and fiber, which can be beneficial if consumed in moderation. It's best to choose whole apples rather than apple juice or processed apple products, as whole fruits have more fiber and a lower glycemic impact.

Key points to consider:

  1. Portion size: Eating one small to medium apple per day is usually safe.
  2. Blood sugar monitoring: Keep track of how apples affect your blood glucose.
  3. Balanced diet: Include apples as part of a varied diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
  4. Consult your doctor or dietitian: Personalized advice is important, especially if you have other health conditions or take medications.

In summary, apples can be a healthy snack choice for someone with diabetes when eaten mindfully and as part of an overall balanced diet.

I'm really worried because every time I get pregnant, I end up having a miscarriage. I'm wondering if this will keep happening. I've seen several gynecologists, but none of them can pinpoint why this is occurring. I also had two ectopic pregnancies on the right side, which led to my right tube being removed in April 2016. I've been trying to conceive again since August, but nothing's working out. Any insight on what could be going on or what I should do next?
