Patients with diabetes may consume a small number of grapes occasionally, but they should avoid eating large quantities or consuming them frequently, as this can easily cause blood glucose levels to rise and become difficult to control—potentially leading to complications. This is primarily because grapes contain relatively high amounts of sugar. Therefore, patients should pay close attention to their diet and limit intake of fruits with high sugar content.
