Yes, Dates are full of electrolytes, fiber, A and B vitamins - all things that most Type 2's are deficient in.
Plus they are a Low GI (Glycemic Index) food.
But each date also contains about 4 grams of sugar so you can't overdo it.
If you are eating them as a snack then 3 of them would be about the recommended limit.
So yes, dates would be a great choice for their overall nutritional benefit.
