Berries and mangoes are still loaded with simple sugars. Not as bad as candy but still not great. Complex branch chained carbs (think things like oat meal, whole wheat bread etc) are the least likely to cause blood sugar spikes and are generally the most healthy carbs you can eat.

Glycemic index; Any food that ranks under 55 is considered low on this scale and may be a better choice for people with diabetes. The GI of mango is 51, which technically classifies it as a low GI food.
The GI of whole wheat bread is 74 ± 2.
