Is fruit okay for diabetics?

Whole fruit is generally fine for most people with diabetes in a normal portion, since the fiber slows how quickly the sugar hits compared to juice or dried fruit. Berries, apples, and pears tend to have less impact than a large serving of very ripe tropical fruit, but the bigger difference is between whole fruit and fruit juice or sweetened dried fruit. This is general information, not medical advice, so confirm your own targets with your doctor.
