Fruit and honey.

Fruits and honey are a combination of glucose and fructose.
Only when you eat starchy foods such as potatoes you've got indirectly pure glucose (there are only trace amounts of fructose - about 2%)

Eat such amounts of fructose that you can metabolize.
If you've got some problems with it then pick the fruits with high glucose/fructose ratio.

Yeah, but there is so few wild fruits nowadays in my climate region.
Only several months in the summer - that's all.
But I've got lots of Jonathan apples from my orchard that I collected in October - I've got 8 crates in my cellar.

I gathered about 1000 persimmons from my trees and neighbors' trees. They are stored in my basement but too many are ripening much faster than I can eat so I give the surplus to my poultry!
