Can people with high blood sugar or diabetes eat pomelo?
Disease description:
Since I was diagnosed with diabetes, I've rarely eaten very sweet fruits and have been hesitant to consume even those that are slightly sweet. May I ask if people with high blood sugar or diabetes can eat pomelo (honey pomelo)?

People with high blood sugar or diabetes can适量 consume honey pomelo in moderation. Honey pomelo has a moderate sugar content and a relatively low glycemic index, making it suitable for people with diabetes when consumed in appropriate amounts. Moreover, honey pomelo is rich in minerals, dietary fiber, and vitamins. Eating it appropriately can help supplement various nutrients the body needs. It is recommended to avoid drinking it as juice whenever possible.
