Berries are probably OK because they have lower sugar content.

But the apple of today has been selectively bred to be not much more than a bag of sugar. The original apples were more like crab-apples. Same for most other fruit.

Strawberries however are #1 in the 'dirty dozen' for insecticide poison content, so if you do, try to get organic.

Carbs are carbs, whether they are in fruit or not. Carbs minus fiber doesn't leave the formula when eating fruit, there are no exceptions.

Some people can handle more carbs than others, I can't do more than 20 without regaining so fruit is pretty much out.

It hasn't hurt me any, I'm 72 (73 this month), on zero prescriptions, and with a heart/circulation system of a 50 year old person (according to a heart doctor).

But everybody is different. What works for me may not be best for you.
