Hi Born it's good to talk to you.

Firstly I'm not going to recommend any supplements as I don't really think you need them.

As for your eating what times do you eat and what foods do you eat at those times?

All fruit contains fructose (probably hence the name). Some contain glucose, like oranges and (if I'm not mistaken), bananas.

Really it's not the type of sugar you're taking in, but the amount of calories you're consuming. If you have 100 grams of orange, you're averaging less calories (oranges are really watery) (and also therefore less sugar, if you want to put it in those terms) than you would for say a mango or papaya.

Tropical & exotic fruit tends to have more calories and fat than "normal" fruit.

Well having checked, oranges and mangoes have less than 1g of fat, which is neither here nor there and I'm not 100% certain what you mean by "normal" fruit. Do you mean the fruit that is more popular and eaten more regularly by people in western countries, or do you mean something else?
