Abstract
There is always paranoid by individuals suffering diabetes mellitus of any type whether to eat fruits or not, to avoid having above normal glycemic index. Glycemic index of four most and regularly consumed fruits in Nigeria were evaluated in twenty alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus healthy male albino mice matched with parity group. This was a parallel study comprising of intraperitoneally administration of single standard dose of alloxan monohydrate to test animals and equal volume of normal saline to parity matched control group. There was no disparity in glycemic index of the two study groups (test and control).Good diet plan by diabetic individuals is a panacea to maintaining good glycemic index.
