Type 2 Watermelon

[elainegold]

Hi I have Type 2 Diabetes which I control by diet alone. I do not take any medication. Please can someone tell me if it is bad to eat watermelon? Does it contain a lot of sugar. Thanks for any advice.

100 grams of watermelon contains 30 calories and 8 grams of carbs according to the t'internet. I have bought a small one to have as a snack with grated chillies but I will weigh it carefully.

8 g per 100g, will be a large amount of carbs for a relatively small piece.

OK if you're use a lowish carb diet of say 150g per day, but would not allow you to do a 20g-50g per day strict LCHF, I think
