Since I had PCOS history, my doctor warned me about high-glycemic fruits. I only had small slices along with some almonds.

Yes, but in moderation. If your doctor has cleared you of gestational diabetes, one small mango a day is perfectly fine.

You can eat them but do get your sugar checked first. Mangoes can spike blood sugar quickly.

Yum! Mango cravings are the best. I eat half a mango with my lunch daily and it keeps my sweet tooth happy.
