  1. Moderation is key: You can eat watermelon in small portions. It contains natural sugars but also has a high water content.

  2. Monitor your blood sugar: Check your levels after eating to see how watermelon affects you.

  3. Pair with protein or healthy fats: Combine with nuts or cheese to slow sugar absorption.

  4. Consult your healthcare provider: Get personalized advice based on your health and diabetes management.

Watermelon can be part of a balanced diet when eaten thoughtfully.
