I find my readings on glucometer increase when I consume even small
quantities of fruit like pears , banana and apple . Fructose in
moderate amounts is not supposed to increase the blood sugar levels .

Not all sugar in fruits is fructose. The particular fruits you named
have rather high sugar contents (just about every diabetic finds that
bananas spike their BG, for example). Consider berries instead; most
people find they have much less effect.

I have also seen increased levels after consuming no-sugar / sugar
free cookies , ice cream and also when I use products containing
splenda .

Most "sugar-free" foods are sweetened with sugar alcohols, which can
raise blood glucose, although usually more slowly than sugars. Splenda
by itself should have no effect; it's not even absorbed into the
bloodstream. However, if you're talking about baked goods, ice cream,
etc. sweetened with Splenda, they're very likely to contain other
sources of rapidly-digesting carbohydrate (e.g. sugar-free cookies still
contain plenty of flour) which will raise your BG.

I have to second what Eric said. I (a type 2 as well) find that bananas are
a no no; however, I love strawberries and have found no problem with them at
all.
I currently do not take medication, but took about two years (with meter in
hand) testing one and two hours post-pradial to work out what was okay and
what was not.

Is there a specific remedy for correcting this situation ? I am type 2
diabetic for the last 3 yrs and take Metformin .

Anyone like me in a similar situation ? Any help Pl.
