Now, that makes sense. I have to be careful about which fruits and veggies I feed Lady since she is diabetic. Green beans and blueberries are low on the glycemic index. Veggies like corn and peas are high as are many fruits. Watermelon, for instance, is the highest fruit on the glycemic index with a glycemic load of 72 compared to apples at 38.

That makes sense.
The first one was a bit broad...don't give fruits and veggies and that wouldn't be good.
It seems fruit would be the most concern (since corn and pea aren't really veggies anyway).
