Four years in complete remission.
My body cannot take prosecced ( I cant spell and spell check is no good with my archaic browser) foods. Period.
It can take anything raw and veggie.
Funny thing about apples is they dont metab with my body.
Most days I check blood glucose to make sure I am not Hypo.
Pineapple OTOH works great with my metab.
Apples skyrocket me, as do grapes.
I think it is all a custom plan for each of us.
Raw tomatoes are my best freind or canned tomato juice as breakfest.
Banana OTOH treats me like an apple does.
Both apple/banana I can only eat a quarter a day. Which ends up wasting or getting chomped on in the day any ways.
Cereal such as Cherios or raison bran have always been big spikers.
I do believe we each have custom system and so ya have to find where your (lotsa finger pricks) own mode.
One thing I like but cant find in stores is Ice Milk as like in IceCream.
McDonalds one dollar Ice Milk (cream) is a nice treat. OTOH A MC D Choc Milkshake for a road trip/meal not so nice. : )
Being single and a raw veggie eater I go out once a week to enjoy comfort food Izzys/Mexican whatever and that seems to work for me but maybe not so good for the next guy/gal.

Sounds like you may be gluten sensitive and/or insulin resistant.
Try a slice of green apple with a TBSP of peanut/almond butter on it-or eat fruit w/cheese. Don’t have it alone.
The fat slows down the sugar in the fruit so it doesn’t race into your bloodstream and cause your blood sugar to drop like a rock! (I have Hypo really bad)
The inflammatory process caused by eating gluten (wheat, rye, barley products-and I can’t have oats either) really messes with how your body absorbs things....and messes with your blood sugar etc.
It is truly amazing; I’m just learning all of this after being sick for YEARS-and last year was told I was pre-diabetic-and I had successfully dieted and lost a LOT of weight- and was eating all good stuff.
But there is now a blood test for gluten sensitivity.Ask your dr about it.
There are also a couple of good books: “The Glycemic Load Diet”-Rob Thompson MD and “The New Glucose Revolution-Low GI Gluten-Free Eating Made Easy”-Dr Jennie Brand-Miller
