Everywhere I turn there are articles about the farmers markets in my area.   This is probably as much a sign of the “eat local” movement as well as what appears to be a trend towards eating less processed whole foods.  Either way, there is a rainbow of fruit coming available at this time of the year both at your grocery store and if you are lucky, from your local farmers.  Not only is fruit healthy and full of nutrients, but it is often relatively low in carbs…something never far from your mind if you have diabetes.  Check out some fresh strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, watermelon, or look for your other favorites.
