People with diabetes can eat watermelon. Watermelon is mostly composed of water, containing a small amount of sugar and a lot of vitamins such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium and amino acids. Patients with diabetes are advised to eat watermelon between meals, which will not cause too much fluctuation of blood sugar, and eat about 2 grams each time. Diabetic patients should control their diet, do not eat too much sweets and fried foods, and patients should eat more food and drink in small quantities and exercise properly.

The glycemic index of watermelon is 73. Watermelon is a fruit with a high glycemic index, and its blood sugar can rise rapidly after eating it. But the advantage of watermelon is that the sugar content is low, and the blood sugar will go down after a while. Watermelon mainly contains water. There are two main indicators for the influence of fruits or other foods on blood sugar: one is the glycemic index, which is the speed of responding to the glycemic index; The other is the sugar load, which is the sugar content. For diabetics, when choosing fruits or other foods, the first thing to look at is the sugar content. Because of the high sugar content, although the glycemic index is not high, the blood sugar gradually rises and lasts longer. When choosing fruits or other foods, we should not only look at the glycemic index, but also consider the sugar content comprehensively. Although the glycemic index of watermelon is relatively high, by controlling the intake of watermelon, it can be guaranteed to avoid the influence of eating watermelon on blood sugar.

Normal healthy people will not suffer from diabetes if they eat watermelon. However, patients with diabetes or hyperglycemia may aggravate the symptoms of diabetes if they eat watermelon frequently or excessively. The cause of diabetes is not clear in clinic. It is related to diet or excessive mental stress and staying up late. It is suggested that patients should have a reasonable and nutritious diet in their daily diet, and avoid eating foods with high sugar content or greasy food. At the same time, it is suggested that patients should ensure a good mood, take more outdoor activities, increase physical exercise and eat a reasonable and nutritious diet, which is beneficial to their health.
