Fruits such as watermelon, cantaloupe, and dates have a high glycemic index (GI), meaning they are quickly digested and absorbed, leading to a rapid increase in blood sugar levels.
Fruits like lychee and mango have a high glycemic load (GL), indicating that they significantly impact blood sugar levels after consumption.
Fruits such as lemons, oranges, hawthorn, and grapefruit may not necessarily have high sugar content, but their acidic nature can stimulate gastric acid secretion, causing discomfort for people with excessive gastric acid or sensitive stomachs. It is advised to avoid consuming them in large quantities.

For those with well-controlled blood sugar, diabetics can choose low-sugar or low-GI fruits and consume them in moderation, such as green apples, grapefruit, pears, and kiwi.
