Hi patient can eat watermelon. It might look controversial but that's the truth. Though it is sweet it has low glycemic load.

Hi lybrate-user. As per new diabetic dietary guidelines, a diabetic can take approx 200gm any fruit daily. Fruits are extremely healthy even for diabetics as well.

She can eat any fruit, but eat in moderation. Kindly read about Diabetes and it's management from the internet and adapt an overall healthy lifestyle. Limit the fruits or any food substances which are sweet in taste.
