I eat huge amounts of fruit. Is there a danger of diabetes?



I never had diabetes in my life but I am worried that I might develop diabetes because I eat enormous amounts of fruit every day, especially before going to bed. For example, eating 10 apples a day is not unusual for me. Should I be worried? If yes, how should I change my eating habits? I am in my 40's, 5' 8", 145 lbs.

eating too much of fruits will not cause diabetes....but for everything thing there is a limit...try to control the quantity!....too much of anything is good for nothing!
No! Fruit has natural sugars, not bad sugars like refined white sugar.

In fact, I work at a retirement home, as a waiter in the dining services, and one of the residents is HIGHLY diabetic. We actually give her real fresh fruit (not fruit cut up that comes from a bucket, because that is just sitting in sugar juice) for desert instead of what we usually offer, because those deserts are high in sugar.
We have to be very careful with her, sometimes the stupid annoying residents will walk up to the desert table and grab deserts for everyone at the entire table, and this diabetic lady will eat a sugar desert and go into diabetic shock. It happened yesterday. She was spreading butter on her plate instead of her roll, and not responding to us.

So, instead of regular desert that we offer every day like pie, cakes, ice crem -- etc we have fresh fruit for her like mellon, strawberries, honey dew, etc.
FRUIT IS GOOD FOR YOU. NO PROBLEMS.
Diabetes is usually a disease caused by the improper digestion of processed sugars, like cane sugar and such. Curb your diet by drinking ten glasses of water each day prior to eating so much fruit, however, the fruit shouldn't hurt you either.
No!! Cos its natural...
no eating a ton of fruit isnt going to give you diabetes it is good for you. the sugers in fruit breaksdown so fast it wont boether you. i take in just as much suger that is bad for you and i am not at risk for type 2 diabetes.
